[Pkg-mono-devel] Updating nant for mono-3.5 profile

[Patrick McEvoy]

Hi all

Today I spoke with directhex 0.85 not supporting mono-3.5 profile. While
0.86b1 exists it's pretty old (2007-12-08) with has bugs that have been
fixed it the cvs head. It appears that nant development is very slow
(stalled?) at the moment. Therefore the cvs head is the most practical
and stable version to be used.

However to take one step at a time I started looking at moving to
0.86b1, and now have questions!

I understand the concept of get-orig-source but not how to use it. Is it
possible to run it locally to create the *.orig.tar.gz? Or do I have to
do this manually?

nant is currently nant-0.85.dfsg following the pattern should this
become nant-0.86beta1+dfsg?

Do patch numbers have to sequential? Certain patches need removing so
should all the names be bumps down? (004_my-patch -> 003_my-patch)

Looking to use the cvs head is it better to use an unversioned nightly
build (nant-latest-src.tar.gz) or cvs head itself?

If so is this get-orig-source cvs example ok?
