[Mono-dev] Error trying to compile mono on CentOs 5 (Mono-devel-list Digest, Vol 123, Issue 6)

My packages are not split like the Xamarin packages or the Fedora
packages, where you have many packages resulting from the mono
src.rpm.
The aim is that they should just work, and I don't want to invest
maintaining them to a high standard of cleanness.
Rather I have invested my time into Mono on Fedora packages, which
results in the achievement that Fedora 23 will be delivered with Mono4
onboard! :)

All the best,
Timotheus
