It would be really great, if this page or any other page is tracking
the movement of development for the stable releases. It's too hard
for package maintainers to follow the project at all. I know that
xamarin has lots of things to do at the moment, but there are still
some distros out there which are try to support mono and the mono
stack in their distribution.
Daniel, I strongly recommend coordinating with the Debian Mono
packaging team in that case.
They've already dealt with the same issues and have policy and
infrastructure in place to go from raw upstream to a set of high
quality packages.
I'm sure they'd welcome you and give some tips if you approach
constructively.
Try the Monodeb mailing lists and their IRC as a starting point:
http://pkg-mono.alioth.debian.org/

First of all thanks Alp to answer to my mails as the only one on this list.
Thanks for the link to the page and the Debian Mono packaging team, but
I know that page already. I'm maintaining the complete mono stack at
Arch Linux more than 4 (nearly 5) years now. The packages are all
packaged well and everything is working since ages.
Debian and Arch Linux are too different in packaging to do any
coordinating here. Personally (and I mean really personally, no official
statement of Arch Linux) I get lost in the number of packages Debian
has, I mean there is one mono-2.10.8.tar.bz2 source package and Debian
is making nearly hundreds (haven't count all the packages, such a rough
guess) of packages out of it. Nevertheless, this is another topic.
I'm just a little bit disappointed from the mono developers and their
information policy, that's all. It was easier when they were at Novell,
but I think setting up a new company and deal with all the needed stuff
around the company consuming a lot of time. Hopefully they will update
the "sources-stable" webpage regularly again in the near future or give
some other information on the stable versions.
Regards,
Daniel
