If for some reason you want to try it, the current version is at https://github.com/downloads/madewokherd/wine-mono/winemono-0.0.2.msi. I think I will need a new home for the binaries, because github only gives me enough space for about 5 of them. So, uh, don't count on that URL sticking around.
The right place for this is probably SourceForge, like all our other downloads. That's a detail to be handler during the final release through.
Cheers, Jacek
Sourceforge only gives us limited space that you can get through via a simple web URL. If we need Wine to automatically download this the way it does Gecko, then doing a normal "release" via sourceforge might not be enough (since Wine can't click through the page). This is why we were using things like the budgetdedicated hosting service (which is still available) in years past.
I'm not sure what limited space you mean. We already have Wine Gecko on SourceForge and a redirecting script on source.winehq.org, which is used for automated downloads. AFAIK this way we don't have any limitations and, as far as Wine packages are concerned, we don't depend on any specific external mirror provider.
Perhaps I am misremembering bandwidth limitations as space ones, but I do recall that hosting the Ubuntu packages there simply did not work once we had more than a few thousand users long ago.
Depending on how frequent a download mono is, we may run into the same issue (with a similar solution: most Ubuntu users don't ever hit the sourceforge gecko download because they get gecko from an automatically installed package that comes with the Wine package)
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
