[mono-packagers] ANNOUNCE: cli-common 0.7 / Debian CLI Policy 0.7 released

[Zoltan Varga]

Hi,

  About the MONO_DISABLE_SHM stuff:

mono from SVN now uses posix shared memory instead of the .wapi directory if
the platform
supports it, so hopefully this .wapi mess can go away in the future.

                      Zoltan
