Mono Develop 5.0.1_1 Not Launching?

[Russell Haley]

Hi guys,

I didn't realize how old the monodevelop port was. I close the bug
with Xamarian as there is no way they would want to support something
almost 10 editions old.

I'll see if I can't figure out how to build it form source and update
the ports/packages tree.

Stay tuned.

Russ
