Re: Subversion integration

I am a long time ms programmer trying very hard to transition to mono.

I have yet to get monodevelop working... Off and on for a month and a half and 5 installs of fedora core 3. I have ordered SUSE 9.3... but fedora should have worked I think

I had mono up in a couple of hours and wrote some code with eclipse and the mono addin in another couple of hours. but the install for monodevelop is freakin nuts.

I would love to contribute (especially a refactoring addin if not already done) but I have yet to even see the app. I have 20 something years of programming experience and this is really frustrating.

As soon as I get it up and running I would like to start a mono/linux user group is S Florida for  MS .net guys to help ease the transition. MS has really pisssed on them with the new MSDN pricing.

Does anyone have a step by step instruction guide for any distro?

Thanks

Gary Davidson
