* Package name : golang-github-google-renameio Version : 0.1.0-1 Upstream Author : Michael Stapelberg Copyright Owner : Google Inc. * URL : https://github.com/google/renameio * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: Go Description : provides a way to atomically create or replace a file or symbolic link The renameio Go package provides a way to atomically create or replace a file or symbolic link. . Atomicity vs durability ----------------------- . renameio concerns itself only with atomicity, i.e. making sure applications never see unexpected file content (a half-written file, or a 0-byte file). . As a practical example, consider https://manpages.debian.org/: if there is a power outage while the site is updating, we are okay with losing the manpages which were being rendered at the time of the power outage. They will be added in a later run of the software. We are not okay with having a manpage replaced by a 0-byte file under any circumstances, though. Reason for packaging: * Required by honnef.co/go/tools, which in turn is required by golang-google-api v0.16.0 and above
