Monodevelop in unsupported

I saw that the recent package cleanup has resulted in the removal of Monodevelop from extra and its addition to unsupported. Given the fact that this is the only decent C#/GTK# IDE out there I'm really puzzled by this decision. The project is very actively developed and supported by Novell, it shows a lot of progress with each passing release and certainly has it's place at least in the community repo. I myself do quite a lot of C# development under Linux(although in Emacs with csharp-mode)  and have many acquaintances who are into C# as well. Almost all of them use Monodevelop. It's a shame to see it go into oblivion on our beloved Arch...

Re: Monodevelop in unsupported

u could try geany instead. its really good

edit: oh and btw if ppl actually use it (as it seems to be the case judging by the comments in AUR) its gonna end up in community soon.
browsing the wiki shows that is has been moved to unsupported due to low usage...

There is also x-develop , not free but quite nice and powerful.

Geany looks promising but no c# support, right?

AFAIK - no. And about X-Develop - apart from the fact that it's not free it does not seem to be as actively developed as MonoDevelop.

I've already built the new version of monodevelop, missing some smaller things though (monodoc update / patch etc).

I might adobt it to community if phrakture allows me to.

Yours,
Georg

Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed for that to happen.
