The BSD# stuff used to be hosted at Novell [1] but some problems
occurred (mailing list malfunctioning, repository unavailable, ...) and
the project switched to Google [2].
I am actively working on bringing recent Mono to FreeBSD, juggling with
mono versions, incompatibility with some projects, sending patches
upstream, etc.
For now, I am working in an svk repository which mirrors the BSD#
subversion repository at Google since I often have to break everything
in order to answer questions like « If I downgrade this port to this
version and use that version of mono, will this piece of code work and
what will happen for other ports? ».
I am however willing to commit all this to the BSD# subversion
repository soon.
Basically, BSD# is not dead and a huge update of all mono-related stuff
in FreeBSD is WIP.
With kind regards,
Romain

several months. I did tried to check in archive, but I keep get errors so
I gave up to visit there again. Yes, I agree about that Novell always have
different problems. I have reported them bugs and they didn't do anything.
Oh well.

nobody take your PR, feel free to let me know the # of PR(s) and I shall
take care of these to put in ports tree for you.
