Awesome, thank you! > If would be good to get a second pair of eyes on my commits, since I've made > some decisive patches. I have removed all commits adding manpage. Furthermore you added a compress command to dh_auto_test this would lead to installing different manpage based on whether or not tests are run (for instance skipped via nocheck). This is a bug, IMHO. My personal experience is that maintainer maintained manpages are seldom well-maintained and tend to get outdated with new versions if the maintainer forgets to update these regularly. Also, that manpages keep introducing new lintian warnings with new version of troff/groff. Since this package already requires some maintenance, I feel it would be an additional burden on me and you. It is IMHO the best case scenario if the upstream maintains a manpage themselves. You may wonder that it might be possible to add a help2man directive in d/rules to fix this problem, but then this gets the package to not be able to cross-build and the problem with troff still remains. Go binaries do not natively cross-build via debian way of cross-compilation via hostarch yet but I suppose it would one day. > If all's good, then I reckon that the new release is ready to be uploaded.
