irtt, salsa and build depends on golang-go

[Pete Heist <pete@heistp.net>]

Hi,

I’d like to get the irtt package refreshed and squash a bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=892429, but I’m behind on pkg-go, coming from alioth, and have a few basic questions to get up to speed:

1) I created a guest account on salsa and requested access to "Debian Go Packaging Team”. Right track?

2) Is there a quick tutorial on pulling in new releases from upstream? One complication is, my upstream (on GitHub) had it’s history re-written to change my email address. Is that possible on salsa? Not recommended?

3) I’d like to build with the standard Go compiler instead of gccgo. I currently have this in Build-Depends in the control file:

Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 11),
               dh-golang,
               golang-any,
               …

Should I just replace golang-any with golang-go, or is it preferred that we actually support gccgo?

Thanks,
Pete Heist
