What are the next steps to a) getting the RPM spec files to do mono packaging and b)
creating a yum repository suitable for EPEL to serve the mono packages?
Dave: EPEL current offers mono for RHEL 5 and 6
ie: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2011-3635/mono-2....
and all sources are available:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=mono.git
of course there are more mono packages but accessible using the same webapps

Ismael OleaBesides Ismael's comment, the spec files, and other fedora specific patches
can be got from git clone'ing
git://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/mono.git
(this should be obvious from the http pkg.fedoraproject link above)
I should also point out that you can grab the source rpms from
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/
. While it is true that RHEL and other redhat linux's shipped mono tends to be
out-of-date - for obvious reasons, since you will need to rebuild everything that depends
on mono, which is a lot! - fc18's - or rawhide's - is always up to date, and I
have had no problems grabbing an fc18 srpm and doing rpm --rebuild on fc17/fc16's, and
occasionally get a few more pdated dependent packages when it does complains about
dependencies.YMMV.
OTOH, if you do start to ship mono 2.10.8, or godforbid mono 2.11.2 for RHEL, you will
have to provide the whole mono-dependent stack, which is not a small undertaking. Be
warned...
