[Pkg-mono-devel] CruiseControl.Net On Debian

[Matt Petteys]

Thanks for the feedback..  I tried to model this package off other mono 
packages installed on my machine but I guess I didn't do such a hot job 
of replicating those structures and packaging files.

I removed the deb file.  I will review these documents again and try to 
conform to the standards better.  Is there a mail list to ask relevant 
questions about packaging mono applications or a proper forum to have 
packages reviewed before soliciting public review?

Thanks - Matt
