Greetings, Mr. Le Gonidec. I'd urge you to take a look at these:
RFP: msbuild -- build platform for .NET and Visual Studio https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=959043 mono-xbuild: Mono packages should provide msbuild instead of xbuild https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1033828 As far as I'm aware, the Mono project used to have its own deb repository, which included among other things msbuild and nuget packages. Personally I'm not seeing any licensing obstacles that would impede their inclusion into the official Debian repository. Also, I may not be completely sure, but apparently Mono uses its own patched version of MSBuild which is published here: https://github.com/mono/msbuild (Please note the tags as well.) There is also a "Linux packaging" repo here, it includes the debian folder which might be easier to adapt to current sid/testing dependencies and packaging policies: https://github.com/mono/linux-packaging-msbuild Meanwhile, the upstream repository of MSBuild (as maintained by Microsoft) apparently only has support for .NET Core included out of the box. What do you think of this? Sincerely, Ilyas Gasanov
