Bug#1111127: ITP: golang-go.yaml-yaml-v3 -- YAML Support for the Go Language



Hey Mathias,

I've raised 2 Merge Requests, one for each package pointing it to the new upstream, bumping the upstream version along some other things.

- https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/golang-yaml.v2/-/merge_requests/3
- https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/golang-gopkg-yaml.v3/-/merge_requests/4

BTW I tried only changing Go-Import-Path for both but it didn't work so I also did the links. Maybe I'm missing something but haven't checked dh-golang to understand how that key is working.

Are you available to review and sponsor it?

Cheers!

  I think it's possible to set multiple import paths in a package's XS-
Go-Import-Path field, which should make things easier.

  The upstream for the current yaml packages is
https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml/, which is unmaintained and archived as
of April 1 (see bug #1103155).

  The continuation of that repo is https://github.com/yaml/go-yaml/,
which is what Arthur's ITPs were for.

  It took me a couple of very confused minutes to realize those are two
different github URLs. :)
