What is latest supported version of mono for CentOS 5.2?

I need to install Mono on a CentOS 5.2 (Final) system.
Does anybody know what is the latest supported version of mono for this OS version?

Solution

  • For Centos:

    curl --silent http://download.mono-project.com/repo/centos/repodata/2334a1db7cede46ffeaca271f392cefb85db58f27b1f4154bce97913f18a7301-filelists.xml.gz | gzip -d -c | grep "mono-basic-"
    <file>./mono-basic-3.8.tar.bz2</file>
    <file>./mono-basic-4.0.tar.bz2</file>
    <file>./mono-basic-4.0.1.tar.bz2</file>

    So, 4.0.1 is available currently for centOS, you would have to check your dependancies to see what else might need to be updated for your centOS 5.2 install.

    Setup :

    CentOS, Fedora, and derivatives Add the Mono Project GPG signing key and the package repository in a root shell with:

    > rpm --import "http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF"
> yum-config-manager --add-repo http://download.mono-project.com/repo/centos/

    Run a package upgrade to upgrade existing packages to the latest available. Then install Mono as described in the Usage section.

    Users of CentOS or RHEL (or similar distributions) may need to add the EPEL repository to their system to satisfy all dependencies.
