Also, I added the pulseaudio option (on by default) to the moonlight port, which makes the moonshine experience much more interesting.

When everybody’s talking about Moonlight 2.0 Preview, we’re finally getting somewhere with 1.0

Anyway, yesterday was one of these days where I mumble about an app that Linux guys have and we don’t. This time it was Moonlight. I looked at it a few months ago and I couldn’t get it to work after a few minutes so I just forgot about it. I mean, how often had I visited a website that required Silverlight… Never. Since then… well not so often, I think it happened once actually, to see a trailer for a PS3 game.

If you’re a Mono-enthusiast, you probably rejoyced a few days ago when I merged Mono 2.0.1 (thank the guys at #bsd-sharp, I’m just the messenger). Mono and c-sharp ports are moving faster these days. I know there are quite a few new ports that will enter the CVS repository quite soon (including gnome-do).

Back to Moonlight. This time I decided I would spend more time on it, because of that reason I gave in the first paragraph. There’s been a lot of buzz around it because of the Obama Inauguration. Also Moonlight 1.0 was released a couple days ago. After a couple of hours, I got something working. The port isn’t ready for the public yet, cause there’s still some polishing left to do, but I’ve uploaded a xpi installer for people who want to try it. Here it is (also here, or here, or there). I hope to finish the port and have it in CVS by monday.
