Bug#1100073: RFP: arduino-cli -- CLI for arduino microcontrollers

[Christopher Obbard <obbardc@debian.org>]

Hi,

I had a look; dh-make-golang suggests the required go deps are quite manageable.
The number of new packages is around 30; some can probably be patched
out (e.g Windows packages).

I am a member of the go team and would be happy to sponsor/mentor any
package uploads but I don't have much time to do anything myself for
probably another 4-6 weeks.


$ dh-make-golang estimate github.com/arduino/arduino-cli
