Bug#905068: ITP: golang-github-canonicalltd-dqlite -- Distributed SQLite for Go applications

[Free Ekanayaka <freee@debian.org>]

Hello Clement,

dqlite upstream and LXD team member here.

Please note that dqlite is going through a bit of change, which I
started to merge yesterday. So a few of the ITPs you have filed will no
longer make sense.

In a nutshell:

1) https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/dqlite is now a C project
2) https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/go-dqlite has Go bindings
3) golang-github-canonicalltd-go-sqlite3 won't be necessary anymore
4) golang-github-canonicalltd-go-grpc-sql won't be necessary anymore

This will all be effective starting with LXD 3.4, to be released in 3
weeks.

In LXD master, this will be effective once we land:

https://github.com/lxc/lxd/pull/4854

which should happen today or tomorrow at latest.

Cheers,

Free
