Hey, This patch is part of a bunch I sent to Jimmy privately. But they haven’t been applied, so am resending them here for review. Package.NormalizePath transforms paths in the xap that use \ as a directory separator to /. So use \ directly, instead of expecting it to be the system directory separator. Thanks, ---

They are applied in the dev/mono branch, and I can apply them for 0.5.1. ~Jimmy Sent from my phone ---

No major reason … they are small enough to be considered bug reports, so I have no problem making the fixes. FYI, I have to be more careful with substantial improvements/features, for the same reason that IronRuby.dll or the DLR can’t accept contributions, but I hope to have a clearer message on contributions in the future. I don’t have moonlight on any of my machines to test it out (though I trust you =P). Can you point me at instructions for setting up Moonlight? I have a Ubuntu VM , or is there another distro I should use since you’re testing more on it (SUSE I assume?). ~js ---

Cool. I don’t particularly care that my own personal patch is applied, I care about having the feature working. So if you guys prefer bug reports I can submit bugs reports. > I don’t have moonlight on any of my machines to test it out (though I trust you =P). Can you point me at instructions for setting up Moonlight? I have a Ubuntu VM , or is there another distro I should use since you’re testing more on it (SUSE I assume?). I use openSUSE, but there’s no reason you couldn’t make it work Ubuntu. You would have to setup Mono from svn, I suggest using: [http://www.mono-project.com/Parallel\_Mono\_Environments](http://www.mono-project.com/Parallel_Mono_Environments) There’s some instructions for Moonlight here: [http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight#Developing\_Moonlight](http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight#Developing_Moonlight) But it’s not always up to date as we are currently changing things a lot. Don’t hesitate to ask on moonlight-list for help, or contact me directly. [http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/moonlight-list](http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/moonlight-list)
