Initial intent at forming a Mono packing policy..

Mono Documentation Found

Debian: http://pkg-mono.alioth.debian.org/cli-policy/

Fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Mono#File_Locations

Notes/Comments

Other than the DLLs being noarch and other parts of the package being arch dependent. It's very similar to other library packaging.

Macros

Additions for making proper mono library packages

%if "%{?_lib}" == "lib64"
%define monosuffix  64
%endif
%define _libmono libmono%{?monosuffix}
%define mklibmono(d) %{_libmono}%{1}%{?2}%{-d:-devel}

%define _monodir %{_prefix}/lib/mono

libmono(suffix) %{1} name %{2} api hardcoded libmono(suffix) so these libs don't get mixed up with other libs. -d well for devel duh

files that go in %{_prefix}/lib/mono %{_prefix}/lib/gac should be separated into respective DLLs into their own pkgs.

pkgconfig files must be always located the devel pkg.
