[Mono-dev] Distribute Parallel Mono Environment?

[Timotheus Pokorra]

Hello Rick,

Have a look at my mono-opt.spec file:
https://github.com/tpokorra/lbs-mono/tree/master/mono-opt
This rpm installs mono to /opt/mono.

Is your application installed on your own servers, or on machines of
customers/users?

If it is on machines that you control, what you need is not
necessarily mono in a parallel environment, because you only need Mono
once.
I guess if you have your own build packages, you won't need the
Xamarin Repo. So you could just use the src rpms from Xamarin (see
http://download.mono-project.com/repo/centos/m/mono-core/, look for
src.rpm) at a point where you want it, and create your own repo with
that version, and only install from your own repo.

Or another alternative, you could still use the Xamarin repo, but
disable it after installation. (enabled=0 in the /etc/yum.repos.d/
xamarin repo file). Only when you have verified on a test machine,
that a newer version from the Xamarin repo would not break your
application, you enable the repo file (enabled=1), and upgrade.

hope this helps,
  Timotheus
