Bug#574371: ITP: go -- The compiler for Google's Go programming language.



Hi guys,

Sorry I have been a bit busy in the last couple months. Actually there was a discussion at debian-mentors ML and you guys might be interested in:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2010/03/threads.html#00200

According to some of the suggestions I have made a few fixes:

Currently I see two show stoppers:

- the ugly wrapper for those env. variables. I don't really want to have it but $GOROOT is also what the build process depends and makes changes to. I will be surely more than happy if we can have a better solution.
- missing man pages

Collaborative maintenance makes much sense for a "platform" like Go. Do let me know what do you think.

Thanks,
-Ivan.

Oops, that’s not permissive at all.  Unless there’s a license that
permits modification available elsewhere, I think these files will
have to be omitted from the .orig.tar.gz.

Would you be interested in pursuing collaborative maintainance?  Given
a packaging repository at hg.debian.org, I imagine there are many people
involved with debian who would be interested in pitching it.

Looking forward to your thoughts,
Jonathan
