[Pkg-mono-devel] Non-strong-named assemblies into GAC

[David Paleino]

Hi all,
I'm packaging Mono.Nat (you can see an initial package at
pkg-cli-libs/packages/mono-nat-sharp), and I've encountered this problem: at
installation time, I have

* Installing 1 assembly from libmono-nat0.1-cil into Mono
E: installing Assembly /usr/lib/cli/mono-nat-0.1/Mono.Nat.dll failed

After some research into /usr/share/cli-common-dev/, I had this output (by
manualy running `gacutil /i Mono.Nat.dll' from /usr/lib/cli/mono-nat-0.1/):

Failure adding assembly Mono.Nat.dll to the cache: Attempt to install an
assembly without a strong name.

Also `sn -T Mono.Nat.dll' gives the same result:

$ sn -T Mono.Nat.dll 
Mono StrongName - version 1.9.1.0
StrongName utility for signing assemblies
Copyright 2002, 2003 Motus Technologies. Copyright 2004-2007 Novell. BSD
licensed.

Mono.Nat.dll does not represent a strongly named assembly.
$

Should I sign that assembly by myself? :)
Or, would it be better that upstream signs it?

Kindly,
David
