BSD# Branches

The BSD# Team maintain various branches for various mono versions in the BSD# Repository:

| Path | Mono Version | Status | Maintained | |:---------|:-----------------|:-----------|:---------------| | /branches/bsd-sharp-releng-2.0 | 2.0.1 |Outdated | No | | /branches/bsd-sharp-releng-2.2 | 2.2 | Outdated | No | | /branches/bsd-sharp-releng-2.4 | 2.4.3 | Outdated | No | | /branches/bsd-sharp-releng-2.6 | 2.6.7 | Committed | Yes | | /trunk | 2.10.1 | WIP | Yes |

Each branch contains a partial ports tree (only ports related to mono and possibly patches for Mk/* files are available) and are not intended to replace the FreeBSD ports tree but rather merged into it.

To ease this, a merge tool named portshaker has been developed by the BSD# Team, and is available in the FreeBSD ports.

How to choose a branch

If you want the bleeding-edge, /trunk provides the work-in-progress ports for many .Net applications.

If you want to track a particular release of Mono are want ports that have been tested, track any RELENG branch. Note that the latest RELENG branch is very similar to what is provided in the FreeBSD ports tree.
