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?
Yes.
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?
Ugh. This might be problematic. Not sure. You’ll see? :)
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?
What’s your motivation to do so? Definitely leave a comment if you go that route. Also, note that this will mean that your package will be available on fewer architectures (some are supported by gccgo, but not by gc).
Thanks,
Pete Heist
