I've emailed upstream about the repo change, but haven't heard back yet. Looking at Amfora (the package that needs the cview/cbind) and talking with their upstream they've already moved to using the new rocketnine repo and not gitlab, https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora/commit/3316b68ade23bfec90c90160c2f0e9ebe549f439 So I think it would be best to try and remove golang-gitlab-tslocum-cbind_0.1.4 from NEW if possible before it's uploaded to unstable and just focus on packaging it from rocketnine. This would then allow Amfora to package using what it's referencing now as well as cview which also references rocketnine. I have asked upstream if cview would move to rocketnine, but haven't heard a response on that either. The gitlab repo for that has no mention of moving and there's no cview repo on the rocketnine site currently. How can we go about removing cbind from NEW? Should I bring it up in the mentors IRC channel or send a bug or mail to a list? For now I'll work on packaging cbind using rocketnine, ITP, salsa, etc to get it prepped.
