Since dotnet would not fit my needs (running non-free video games relying on Mono), I plan on keeping Mono in Debian and have no real motivation to start packaging dotnet in addition to it. Of course it should not prevent anyone else from starting a packaging effort for dotnet, we might even be able to share some tools between mono and dotnet to lessen the load for both teams. > My understanding is that debian mono is sourced from the mono-project repo > [1], which is no longer maintained, but the wine-mono fork [2] has v6 going. > wine-mono is distributed with Wine, but not packaged in debian.

My plan is to start following the mono fork as the new upstream, but only after the current packages reach a satisfying state. We’re not there yet, but I hope this can be done before Forky.
