Hi,

unmush <unmush <at> proton.me> skribis:

> We used to have a mono package, but it was removed due to includingbootstrap binaries (among others).  This patch series introduces a full,

I join others in congratulating you!  This is very impressive, and a
great step forward.

I’ll make time to review and apply those patches if nobody beats me at it.

Thank you!

Ludo’.
