Bug#841483: ITP: golang-gopkg-macaroon.v1 -- A native Go implementation of macaroons



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: "Michael Hudson-Doyle" <michael.hudson@ubuntu.com>

* Package name    : golang-gopkg-macaroon.v1
  Version         : 0.0~git20150121.0.ab3940c
  Upstream Author : Roger Peppe <rogpeppe@gmail.com>
* URL             : http://gopkg.in/macaroon.v1
* License         : BSD-3-clause
  Programming Lang: Go
  Description     : A native Go implementation of macaroons

The macaroon package implements macaroons as described in the paper "Macaroons:
Cookies with Contextual Caveats for Decentralized Authorization in the Cloud"
(http://theory.stanford.edu/~ataly/Papers/macaroons.pdf).

This package is a new dependency of snapd.

It is packaged in Ubuntu already and the packaging only needs to be adapted
in the usual trivial ways for Debian. I've uploaded the packaging I intend to
upload to https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-go/packages/golang-gopkg-macaroon.v1.git/

This package will be maintained in the pkg-go team. I will require a sponsor
for the initial upload (I am a DM).
