My mistake, I have go-pkcs11-dev installed locally, but it's the one

The golang-github-google-go-pkcs11-dev rejection message was:
the OASIS IPR stuff is really weird, but at least this:
(...)solely for the purpose of developing and promoting the OASIS
Deliverable(...)
already makes it non-free.
I did a bit of research and found that golang-github-miekg-pkcs11 had
the same
problem with embedded OASIS Open code. What the maintainer has done is
repack
the source to remove the non-DFSG-compliant OASIS code and change the
imports
and (B-)Deps to use libnss instead, which provides the same
functionality.
I've locally cloned the Salsa repo for
golang-github-google-go-pkcs11-dev, and
made the following changes:
* Bumped the version to 0.3.0
* Repacked it to remove third_party/pkcs11/* (0.3.0+dfsg)
* Patched in the libnss imports (copying the miekg-pkcs11 package)
* Patched the tests so they use their own ./syslog.tmp instead of the
non-
existent one at /var/log/syslog
Thanks for that, Maytham, that will be very helpful
I've got access to the Salsa repo, so are you ok with me pushing these
changes
to the repo?
We've got a mechanism using debian/watch and debian/copyright to
automate removing third_party/pkcs11/* and creating the 0.*.0+dfsg
tarball. I suggest making a Merge Request with your fix so we can
review that, and then merge it all together.
