As in both unstable and testing. It only exists in old distributions. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/monotone First it was removed from testing: https://tracker.debian.org/news/940070/monotone-removed-from-testing/ It was removed from testing because botan1.10 is no longer available in testing. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=888089 Then it got removed from unstable: https://tracker.debian.org/news/1089909/removed-11-9-from-unstable/ https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=943919 "Please remove monotone. It's dead upstream, last upload was over three years ago and it's removed from testing since 1.5 years." -- Brian May

Opensource software projects first responsibility re OS's generally ends at making sure the project compiles and runs on the commonly targeted OS's, such as a generic Linux (say Debian) and BSD (say FreeBSD), as installed from their latest OS general release. That generally does also include integrating patches sent upstream from OS's to meet that purpose. It does not generally extend to supporting old OS releases, or expending time directly creating and maintaining ports and packages for whatever OS's, or posting downloadable binaries that users can just compile themselves given the first above. Perhaps it is time if users want ports or packages, to happily go help those OS create and maintain some. And advertising users own monotone use cases, capabilities strengths, of the software project among RCS communities, creating communities of supporting users, etc. Maybe find some cool fellow Debian'ers on monotone-users list :) Or at least file reports of any failure of monotone to directly compile and run on the latest OS general release after prereqs and instructions. Therein, try compiling monotone on the latest OS general release called... debian 10.3 "stable / buster" freebsd 12.1 Not on an "upgraded" to some bleeding edge dev branch that even the OS's themselves caution about potential problems, such as... debian "testing" etc freebsd CURRENT And go from there :)
no monotone in Debian testing?
I've just installed a new Debian 10 VM, and upgraded to testing. 'aptitude search monotone' returns nothing! Is it finally time to stop using monotone? -- -- Stephe
