Important Note About Our CI Infrastructure

[steveisok]

Mono Community,

In an effort to serve you better, we are beginning a long overdue upgrade of our CI infrastructure, moving in large part off of Jenkins and onto Azure DevOps. Unfortunately, one of the first steps when executing our plan was to make Jenkins private. As a result, outside contributors will no longer be able to access relevant build information. We anticipate this being temporary and will be back up when our move to Azure DevOps is complete. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Thanks,

The Mono Team

@steveisok is there any public link to download a build for 6.12.0.122. I can find it either
at https://download.mono-project.com/archive/6.12.0/macos-10-universal/ and I need
it for CI/CD in AppCenter.

@steveisok Any news on when build information and artifacts will be publicly available again?

[akoeplinger]

@gsgou @AGreat1 sorry for the delay, the 6.12.0.122 package is available on the download server now: https://download.mono-project.com/archive/6.12.0/macos-10-universal/MonoFramework-MDK-6.12.0.122.macos10.xamarin.universal.pkg

[gsgou]

Thanks for your feedback @akoeplinger

Is there any public link for the WebAssembly SDK?

[amieres]

When are there going to be public links to the WebAssembly SDK builds?

[legistek]

Please update the documentation too with the correct links:
https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/main/sdks/wasm/docs/getting-started/obtain-wasm-sdk.md

Those links are not accessible. I almost opened a new issue.

[legistek]

How's that link to the WASM SDK coming?

[legistek]

The links to the WASM SDK appear to be working. Better grab it before they go down again!

[geodanila]

Any news on the WASM SDK links?

[steveisok]

@lewing Are we still going to support the wasm sdk from mono/mono? Our focus for wasm in .net 6 and beyond is in dotnet/runtime.

[geodanila]

Any chance you could make the WASM SDK links available on https://download.mono-project.com/archive/ ?
Is the only other alternative to build the SDK locally? Thanks!

[legistek]

Our focus for wasm in .net 6 and beyond is in dotnet/runtime.

Does that mean AOT is actually happening in .NET6?

I'll take a look but that's probably tricky, so yeah right now you have to build locally.

Does that mean AOT is actually happening in .NET6?

Yes it's being tracked in dotnet/runtime#44316

[legistek]

Yes it's being tracked in dotnet/runtime#44316

Thank you! I was only following the issue in ASP.NET Core which has had no activity for ages and was starting to worry.

[martadinata666]

So this almost end of quarter 2022, i see the github releasing many fixes from last release mono-6.12.0.122 until now mono-6.12.0.173 , but update release on repo and additional distro not existant? In term of this, i assume we need to build one by ourself right now following this guide compilation? thanks.

Is this the reason why there is currently no PPA for Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish (https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu/dists/), or should I open a new issue for that?

[directhex]

The CI infrastructure for releasing Linux packages has not aged very well, and adding new distros/arches is getting exponentially harder. Everyone's main focus is on .NET (Core) moving forward.

The Jenkins CI infrastructure for releasing Linux packages has not aged very well, and adding new distros/arches is getting exponentially harder. Everyone's main focus is on .NET (Core) moving forward, and "classic" Mono is really in more of a maintenance position than a primary focus.

The 20.04 packages seem to work fine in 22.04 in my cursory testing, so I don't have any plans to bring up dedicated 22.04 builds, unless someone sufficiently senior orders me to.
