Bug#793171: RFS: git-lfs/0.5.2-1 [ITP]



Hi Stephen,

I've had a last look at the source code of the package, and,
unfortunately I found something quite annoying: there are lot of 
external snippets and external libs in the vendors folder. Debian's way
of thinking packaging isn't in accordance to it. We should package
every piece of code separately; otherwise it may create security and
organisational problems.

If I upload the package in its current state, it may be rejected by FTP 
Master. Moreover, it will be hard to maintain this package in the future.

The main problem is that packaging these snippets separately will take 
quite a lot of time and won't be a simple task. I don't have the time to 
sponsor so many packages. Thus, I'd advise you to get in touch with the Go
Packaging Team[0] (#debian-golang on irc.debian.org). They will surely help 
you to find a solution for your package. They might also decide to upload it.

Of course, don't hesitate to ping me if you need some quick review, I'm
not far away. :-)

Regards,
 Hugo
