Bug#1010445: mono-complete: Mono package in Debian is very outdated (6.8 but should be 6.12)

[Ying-Chun Liu (PaulLiu)]

Hi Andrey,

OK. Let me look into cecil. And I'll fix it soon.

Yours,
Paul

Next ones to remove?:

- repetier-host ("host controller for RepRap style 3D printers"); see

- opentk; dep of repetier-host, see below
- cecil; dep of opentk, RC-buggy

Regarding these:

repetier-host was removed a year ago and then reintroduced (see #1042739).
It's dead upstream (because of relicensing) but "is still used a lot".
But if people still need it somebody needs to at least fix the cecil RC
bug, and if mono is removed from testing repetier-host will not be in
testing or stable anyway. Also I assume that repetier-host from 2013 needs
similarly ancient opentk and cecil, but with the dead mono ecosystem in
Debian this is no longer a problem as there are no other revdeps of those.
