OpenPKG CURRENT contains a cross-platform Monotone source package for
BSD, Linux and Solaris which is already at version 0.33, too.

                              - - -

BTW, OpenPKG CURRENT also contains mostly all of the Monotone
competitors: http://www.openpkg.org/product/packages/?group=SCM

For those of you who need the latest versions of all version control
systems under an arbitrary Unix flavor (and without any intrusion of the
underlying system), just use the following procedure to install them,
for instance into /usr/vcs:

    $ wget ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/current/SRC/CORE/openpkg-*.src.sh
    $ sh openpkg-*.src.sh \
      --prefix=/usr/vcs --tag=openpkg-vcs \
      --user=openpkg-vcs --group=openpkg-vcs
    $ sh openpkg-*-openpkg-vcs.sh
    $ /usr/vcs/bin/openpkg build \
      sccs rcs cvs subversion \
      aegis tla bazaar darcs \
      git mercurial monotone | sh

After this (and some breaks as everything is built from source and from
scratch, including all dependencies ;-), you can just run:

    $ /usr/vcs/bin/mtn [...]
    $ /usr/vcs/bin/svn [...]
    $ /usr/vcs/bin/cvs [...]

At any time you can upgrade to the latest versions of all components
under /usr/vcs with:

    $ /usr/vcs/bin/openpkg build -Ua | sh

And if you got tired of the stuff, just get rid of the whole /usr/vcs
instance with:

    $ /usr/vcs/bin/openpkg rpm -e `/usr/vcs/bin/openpkg rpm -qa`

At least that's how I'm personally making sure that all the VCSs are
available to the developers in the same versions, under the same path
and under both BSD, Linux and Solaris...
