I think it's worth at least pushing what you have to salsa, so that someone else can carry the torch from where you stopped, if you get tired of this. Who knows, another golang packager might also need the same dep and help you! > My TODO list follows. Packages with a # are done, those with a ! > have an error, and I forget what - means.

That is probably as unhelpful as it sounds. :p > dskit > ^go.etcd.io/etcd wtf, they link to etcd too.. wth is this thing. that is certainly used by k8s. > migrate > modernc.org/sqlite that one is massive. i started using it for wallabako (#893648) and it brought in a ridiculous number of deps. but it's faster and more portable than the other sqlite lib I was using before, so that would be really nice to have in Debian. ... if a little bonkers (that thing basically transpiles sqlite from C to golang). > -gopkg.in/natefinch/lumberjack.v2 that's another one I used in wallabako, probably worth packaging in debian in general, just because a bunch of golang packages are likely to use it as well. > I can make an effort to submit the ones I have packaged, but I haven't > worked on this for a bit (as other projects took priority) That's absolutely fine, I think, and it would be really awesome if you could push what you have somewhere already, so that if someone wants to resume the work on loki, they can start from there. And, alternatively, that work would be useful for other packaging efforts, I am sure. Thank you so much! a.
