wrong. I didn't see any uploads to the libreoffice PPA either.  please get some 
exposure to the community early.  I did hope that the development behind the

there's no reason to build at least once on a developer machine. These are 
available for a reason.

this is development. detect it early and file reports. if mono is such a pain, 
please consider dropping support for mono.
