Hello people,

as many may have noticed, there is another Mono version out of the door
and we still don't have it in Debian. With the usual questions: Why does
this happen? What are our plans?

First, not-so-good-news:=20

 - I am busy in the next weeks!
 - The 0.30 release no longer contains libgdiplus. Instead, it is a
   separated package now. And it depends on libcairo, which is packaged
   by Dave Beckett but not uploaded to Debian yet. This new packages
   would cause another delay for 0.30 in Debian.

   Needed: volunteer to package libgdiplus separatedly.

So the plan:

 - release the last mono 0.29 debs (and only mono!) to fix the urgent bugs.
 - branch it to "0.29-series" in svn
 - update trunk to 0.30
 - make mono-assemblies-base be a empty package for now
 - upload 0.30 to experimental. It won't have working System.Drawing
   classes but gtk-sharp does not need it AFAICS.
 - upload new lib packages to the NEW queue
 - wait some weeks till the new packages are accepted, then upload 0.30
   for Sid

Parallel development:

 - finish libapache-mod-mono
 - finish monodoc

Questions? Objections? Additions? Tell us.

Eduard.
