Hi Sergio, I am writing to you as current Debian Maintainer of golang-pb.
I would like to update the package to a newer upstream version, which is needed to build acmetool. In the process I would like to set the Maintainer to the Debian Go package team, and include you and myself in the Uploaders field. To reflect the Go package naming policy, I would like to rename the source package from golang-pb to golang-github-cheggaaa-pb, and the binary package from golang-pb-dev to golang-github-cheggaaa-pb-dev with a Conflicts/Provides/Replaces for golang-pb-dev. Please take a look at the proposed updated packaging [1], which is maintained using git-buildpackage. I have imported your existing Debian-specific commits from the old repository [2]. [1] https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-go/packages/golang-github-cheggaaa-pb.git [2] https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-go/packages/golang-pb.git Are you fine the proposed changes? If yes, I will upload the above package via a request for sponsorship. I have verified that the only reverse dependency on the package, etcd, builds using the new version. When the renamed source package has been accepted into the archive, I will subsequently request the removal of the old source package. Regards, Peter
