HS-634 - mono-vbnc deprecated

Rich has fixed the mono issue in a test beta: https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/de...05#post1370405

So.. changed all vbnc to vbc in those files and tested it on my machine... it works. I do not know if they will approve ..

best solution would be if hs4 change its call.

Any update on this issue as of July 16 2023 ? I.e. is mono-vbnc still required or can I safely skip it. The HS4 installation instructions still say to add mono-vbnc which I would prefer not to do. Is there a command I could use to test if vbnc is needed?

I did a search for mono-vbnc it is no longer offer on the microsoft site. And I can't find it on github.

I'm running AlmaLinux 9 (RedHat 9 clone) so there is also no mono vbnc package.

For anyone else trying to track down mono-vbnc, the following instructions work even on debian 12.

After adding the new repo following the instructions in the link, you can get the mono-devel as well as mono-vbnc packages.

As a side note, isn't it about time for HS to move beyond mono and migrate to a supported version of .net? dotnet6 and dotnet8 are really robust and actually supported.
