[MonoDevelop] Which version of Mono Develop?

[andy at brdstudio.net]

The fine people who put together Monodevelop cannot force any distribution 
to carry a new build it is up to the distro to build it on their platform 
and put it in their repository. There are only a few exceptions to this 
rule, Suse's build service comes to mind. There is always the option to 
build Monodevelop from source but they can't force any distribution to have 
the dependencies either. Linux distro are very protective of their product 
for reasons that are easy to understand but it does make for some issues.

I would suggest a note be put on Monodevelop's download page for Linux 
users to let user know how package flow works in Linux so we can avoid 
misunderstandings in the future.

Ask in the forums of your distro?
