Install Monodevelop 2.4?

dragonbite · August 24, 2010, 7:46pm

I have installed openSUSE (Gnome) lately on a box via a netinstall CD which pulls down the packages when the installation portion begins.

I included Monodevelop in the list, but what I got was version 2.2! When I go to the Monodevelop download page I see a one-click install for up to 11.2. No 11.3 one-click is anywhere, so I figure it was already moved to the repositories.

I even added the Mono repository but still only find version 2.2! Am I missing something? Do I need to do or look elsewhere for ver. 2.4?

maybe you simply need to look again with yast into the repo and it appeared
since you last looked into it.

Could I be looking at the regular, official repository and not the Mono one?

Possible, I do not know which url your mono repo has (you said you added a
mono repository). As far as I understand the project description
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Mono
the one I gave you is the one for the newest mono packages.
The official repos will always be more conservative and not update to a new
major version and yast will not simply change to use a different repository
by simply adding it you need to tell it that.
If you go into yast -> software and search for monodevelop do you see a
version 2.4 available when you click on the versions tab?

I’ll look when I get home tonight.
