[Mono-devel-list] NUnit 2.1 for Mono - status and questions

[Charlie Poole]

NUnit now provides code that should build and work for Mono using the
provided NAnt build file. Currently you can only it from the NUnit CVS
repository but it will be included in the upcoming 2.2 release. I'd love to
see this tried out on various platforms before it releases.
