[IronPython] Moonlight 2/IPy 2.6 B2

[Scott Scites]

Jimmy,

That's great news that IPy 2.6 will be compatible with Moonlight 2 and
Silverlight 3!

The Moonlight build bot link is broken.  My search for an alternative link
is coming up short.

Thanks,

Scott

In my most recent blogpost about IronRuby and Moonlight (
http://blog.jimmy.schementi.com/2009/07/ironruby-at-oscon-2009-mono-moonlight.html)
I say this:

Note: the latest Moonlight stable release will not work for IronRuby, you
must install the latest Moonlight build from their build bot:
http://sublimeintervention.com:8123/GetFile.aspx?id=11487919

There were some bugs in Moonlight that they had to work out to get Ruby
working. I believe Python worked as well, but these were "Silverlight Debug"
builds from the IronRuby github source (which includes IronPython) without
the "SILVERLIGHT_3" flag; you're right that building against SL3 broke the
SL2/Moonlight2 compatibility because we now depend on
System.Windows.Deployment.ExtensionPart. I think it makes sence to figure
out a way to have the same binaries work in Silverlight 3 and Moonlight 2
without rebuilding, so I'll make sure to get that in to IronPython 2.6.
