Update mono from 6.8.0.123 to 6.10.0.104 stable

[breiter (Brian Reiter)]

From the Mono website, the 6.10.0.104 release is primarily about bug fixes and replacing some of their implementation with dotnet core classes.

All I did in the Portfile was change the version number and checksums. It built without any problems and seems to be working.

Is there anything else that I can do to help update this port?

[breiter (Brian Reiter)]

It's been 3 weeks waiting to have a port updated. I even provided the patch, so the burden to implement the change should be minimal. It's kind of becoming a problem that MacPorts is unresponsive and unreliable for this purpose.

Is there something that can be done to unstick this? Perhaps the maintainer is unavailable for a good reason and someone else can take this on?

[MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)]

I am very sorry about this.
I am the maintainer, and I have been completely disengaged for MacPorts for the last few weeks.
I will likely be out of commission for several more weeks.

When I return to MacPorts, I will be happy to look at this.
If you would not like to wait (which I completely understand), please feel free to open a pull request.
You may need to ask someone on the mailing list to go ahead and commit it if I am still unavailable to look at it (which is likely).

Again, my apologies.

[breiter (Brian Reiter)]

OK. Thanks.

I have created a pull request. I did not actually realize that this worked by having all the portfiles in a big repo.

In the meantime, I have a workaround script that finds and installs the current stable pkg from mono-project.com. You can automate installs and upgrades with the script. For example:

sudo port deactivate mono
$ sudo port deactivate mono
