So, I just wanted to check whether MD 3.0 is available somewhere for Ubuntu oneiric —- it’s not even existing in the monodevelop package (that’s still MD 2.8.2 somethin), which is totally awful! How to achieve a good compromise between the stable-oriented windows/mac/openSuSe fraction and the (unfortunately forced) unstable-oriented Ubuntu user group? I mean at the moment it’s still ok – there were no big changes between 3.0 and 3.1 but if there will be some – what shall I do then?
Let the linux users wait for me to update the code? Or should I let all others wait/install the latest beta version though most of them do not want to update their MD all the time and several times a week?
– I think I better stick to actually ‘stable’ versions – because there seem to be way more win/mac users who want to use Mono-D. If there are reasons NOT to do so, please tell me!

Yeah, I mean it’s not ideal, of course, but I think linux users are used to having to build stuff from source on occasion, so it’s not a huge deal, so long as easy to follow instructions are given.
I’m using Mono-D on ubuntu, and personally I don’t mind building MonoDevelop from source. (The instructions you’ve given work well!)
You are not several others who never touched D, git or mono or something else before — but ok, then it’s probably the case that one is using Windows or Mac instead, Argument valid!
