I looked at the upstream README and over the packaging, which seems clean to me. Curiously, while written in go, it doesn't use the dh_golang debhelper but the upstream meson build system. That's a first for me, but (probably) not concerning. I'd be happy to upload the package on your behalf. Would you be happy to maintain the packaging under the golang-team umbrella or would you have other preferences? Having it in the debian/ namespace on salsa would work for me equally well. > As for the discussion about the package name, podman-toolbox or > container-toolbox looks good to me. I agree with Raphael, the currently chosen names are too generic for integration into a general-purpose distribution such as Debian. I'd propose: src:golang-github-containers-toolbox to produce toolbox-podman (or podman-toolbox) [currently, the packaging uses src:toolbox and toolbox as binary package name] Best, -rt
