Bug#1118667: ITP: bingo -- Like `go get` but for Go tools



Hi Simon,

Hi.  Do you think there is still any point to avoid using 'bingo' here?
There is no naming clash.  While we could rename this source and/or
binary package, the Go team naming policy is to use the upstream name,
which is 'bingo', and I can't see that there will ever be any conflict
with your 'libbingo*' namespace here.

So my preference is to go with the Go naming guideline here.  Let me
know if you still think it would be useful to avoid 'bingo' here.  I
plan to upload to NEW shortly.

I did not have time to look into src:indigo. Thus feel free to upload src:bingo if it does not interfere with bin:libbingo*. It is unlikely src:indigo will interfere with the namespace you are intending to take. Per [1], bingo is described as "Chemistry search engine for Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL databases", thus it is unlikely there will ever be a need for /usr/bin/bingo.

Best,
Andrius
