Hi, I have just taken up the reigns of Alp Toker's 'MonoDeb' project, whilst he is on holiday for a few weeks, and it looks likely that I will continue maintaining mono, mcs, gtk#, and other components of the Mono project when he returns. The packages are currently available at: http://www.debianplanet.org/mono/ and I am working on bringing them in line with Debian policy etc.
We are planning to set out a Debian C#/CLI policy for the naming of packages, location of files, managing alternatives, registration of binfmt_misc handler, etc, and I am working with my counterpart in the pnet (portable .net) project, the other free software implementation of the .NET architecture to ensure interoperability between our packages etc. In light of this already existing and ongoing effort to package these programs, and to avoid a needless duplication of effort, I would like to request your permission to take over these ITPs and upload our packages to Debian when we deem they are ready. Regards, Rob
