re. Installing Mono on SuSE Linux with Red Carpet March 13, 2005

I was hunting around for some information on Mono dependancies when I found this article by Kevin Shockey:

Installing Mono on SuSE Linux with Red Carpet

Interesting - but one subtle flaw. The ZLM client components - also known as Red Carpet - are available online and they are open source - source hosted at cvs.gnome.org.

I mailed Kevin:

Kevin

I’ve just read your article from the end of last year - http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/6123 - and I thought it was particularly interesting.

One thing to note - did you know that the ZENworks Linux Management client components - also known as Red Carpet - are 100% open source and available without downloading ZENworks Linux Management?

We have the RPMs for many platforms at ftp://ftp.ximian.com/pub/redcarpet2 - certainly fast and easy.

Also we have the public Red Carpet server http://red-carpet.ximian.com which provides community updates - including those for Mono.

Finally we have another open source project - Open Carpet - which lets developers host their updates to be consumed by the Red Carpet/ZLM client components - http://opencarpet.org

Let me know if I can be of any further help - and please feel free to reference this data in the future.

Let’s see if this gets a response. I’m keen to evangelise the benefits of OpenCarpet for developers and hacker teams.
