Apparently, Mono was working fine with --disable-libraries, as long as
no third party libraries are used. So should we make this optional
instead? What is the size impact of this (i.e a Mono build with
--disable-libraries, and a Mono build without --disable-libraries), in
terms of installed size? If the size difference is small compared to
the overall size of Mono, then I'm fine for doing it unconditionally.

Could you comment on this?

Thanks,

Thomas

Can you give more details as to what doesn't work with the current
default of an empty local time? An empty local time already means UTC,
so there should be no need to specify Etc/UTC as the local time.

Improving the commit log to give more details about the exact failure
solved by this patch would be useful.

Not needed, since this Config.in file is already only included if Mono
is enabled, as per your change in package/Config.in.

> +	select BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGTK3

You can't just select libgtk3, you also need to inherit all its
dependencies. However, I am not sure in such situation if we really
want to "select" libgtk3 or to "depend" on it. The reason is that by
using "select", the user may not necessarily go to the libgtk3 option
to select the display backend. And by default, the display backend is
the Broadway backend, which most likely isn't what the user wants.

So for this case, I would personally lean towards using "depends on
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGTK3", especially since it's quite obvious for the user
who wants gtk# that the gtk library should be installed.

> +	select BR2_TARGET_TZ_INFO

More details about why tz information are needed would be useful. In
any case, this should be:

	select BR2_TARGET_TZ_INFO if BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC || BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_UCLIBC

because the BR2_TARGET_TZ_INFO option is not available for Musl toolchains.

In the Config.in help text, we want the main web site of the project,
not the download URL. So most likely, this should instead be:

	  http://www.mono-project.com/docs/gui/gtksharp/

Please use the GTKSHARP_VERSION_MAJOR thing used in several other packages:

GTKSHARP_VERSION_MAJOR = 2.99
GTKSHAP_VERSION = $(GTKSHARP_VERSION_MAJOR).3
GTKSHARP_SITE = ......./gtk-sharp/$(GTKSHARP_VERSION_MAJOR)/

Minor detail: the += sign is not needed here, you could just do '='.

Other than that looks good. Really, the only thing a bit weird about
this series is the time zone related thing.

I just discovered that problems is in the whole Mono libraries, not
only in gtk#.
Without /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime files this is the error:

System.TimeZoneNotFoundException: Exception of type
'System.TimeZoneNotFoundException' was thrown.
  at System.TimeZoneInfo.get_Local () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

Mono libraries wants an explicit localtime to work, cannot be empty.

I do you suggest to solve this problem? Obviously it belongs to the
mono package, but how to solve it in a clean way?

Honestly, I will stay with "select" but expanding it with all libgtk3
selects and depens is impractical, so let's go for depend.
For the backend side, users should be a little bit aware of what they
are doing and selecting a proper backend.

We can default on another backend for libgtk3, but this is not
strictly related to gtk#. I think that having an X11 default backend
for libgtk3 is more sensible than broadway.

libmono* size is ~6mb and the overrall size of mono with only 4.5
libraries is ~60mb so it's a ~3.6%. If think it's too much, I'll add
an option to enable/disable compilation of it.
I think that the size is small (if compared to the entire size) and
could be enabled without too much thinking. Obviously, a user can
manually remove files he/she not uses, there are tons of libraries
rarely used that can be removed. But this is an optimization step that
only the software developer can do.

6 MB of 60 MB is 10%, not 3.6%. But ok, fair enough, I believe it's
quite reasonable to have this by default: Mono is anyway a huge beast.
I'll apply this patch.

I was at first a bit sceptic about the "Etc/" prefix, but indeed, UTC is
not a "top-level" timezone; I was confusing it with GMT, which is a
"top-level" timezone. So:
