Hi there!
tl;dr: A bunch of packages are waiting in NEW and in Experimental for
upgrading to Etcd 3.5.5, let's do a smooth transition.
Longer version:
As some of you already know (because I chatted about it on IRC), I
worked on upgrading Etcd to 3.5.5. The main reason I worked on this, is
because I would like to also upload mgmt-config [1], and that it was
painful with the current Etcd version.
I thought I should explain what I did, and tell the team what direction
all of this is taking.
I staged all on my laptop, and yesterday (plus this morning), uploaded
everything. In order to avoid destroying anything, I uploaded all what
changed to Experimental. The result is a moderately large amount of NEW
packages and updated packages. Here's the sum-up (hopefully, I didn't
forget anything):
New package I uploaded to Unstable:
===================================
golang-github-aws-smithy-go (still in NEW)
golang-github-cockroachdb-datadriven
golang-github-etcd-io-gofail
golang-github-felixge-httpsnoop (still in NEW)
golang-github-go-logr-stdr
New packages I uplaoded to Experimental (because of dependencies in
Experimental):
===================================================================
golang-github-grpc-ecosystem-grpc-gateway.v2 (still in NEW)
golang-opentelemetry-contrib (still in NEW)
golang-opentelemetry-proto
Packages I upgraded in experimental:
====================================
golang-github-form3tech-oss-jwt-go (rename from
golang-github-dgrijalva-jwt-go, still in NEW)
golang-github-grpc-ecosystem-go-grpc-middleware
golang-github-grpc-ecosystem-grpc-gateway
golang-github-soheilhy-cmux
golang-opentelemetry-otel
Packages currently in Experimental uploaded by someone else that will
need to move to unstable:
=====================================================================
golang-goprotobuf-dev
golang-google-grpc-dev
It took me a long time to get all correct, but there still could be some
problems, I very much welcome everyone to check on my work. Also, as I
use schroot/sbuild to get dependencies, it's possible I forgot some of
the depends currently in experimental (we'll see when uploading to
unstable).
Finally, I have uploaded etcd 3.5.5 to Experimental this morning. I
however well know it's currently broken, as upstream now produces more
stuff in /usr/bin, and that the .service needs to be adapted to start
etcd correctly. I every much welcome current maintainers to have a look
at the "experimental" branch (*not* debian/experimental which I didn't
touch), and help me fix all (please chat on IRC on the #debian-golang
chan about it...).
As I see, there's docker.io that depends on it, which we don't want to
break at all costs. I haven't tested rebuilding it with the new etcd,
but that's my next step. For this reason, last uploaders of docker.io
are in CC in this message.
Please do not hesitate to peer-review what I'm doing, as I still
consider myself a newbie in go packaging. Also let me know about the
status of the transistion to unstable for golang-goprotobuf-dev and
golang-google-grpc-dev.
Cheers,
