Dmitry, we had this discussion a long time ago in the team list and in
person during DebConf17, and decided to adopt this as policy. It has not
been enforced yet due to lack of tooling, but that is the way forward
the team has agreed on, as it is a more structured way to deal with
multiple releases, have tools do the right thing automatically, etc.

I really don't understand why you are so opposed to it, maybe me or
somebody else can work with you to ease that feeling?

Dear Dmitry,

I am open to testing, doing build logs and helping out generally.
Anything more than that such as packaging is asking more than I can
deliver atm.

btw there doesn't seem to any docker-ma...@alioth-lists.debian.net

https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo unless
somebody wants to revive that list from the defunct group and have it
under the alioth-lists.debian.net domain.

I wasn't part of this discussion (probably being busy working) or I would

What?!? We have to stop this madness. IMHO it is a disservice to team to 
introduce DEP-14 and a standard practice.


> I really don't understand why you are so opposed to it,

Because it is a bad idea, inconvenient and time consuming.
It improves nothing and makes it mode difficult to maintain packages.

Now I have to put on hold everything that have to do and write about it just 
to prevent it from happening... Why can't we work towards something useful?

I'll see if I can put some ideas together in the next few days.
I'm very very busy right now...


> maybe me or somebody else can work with you to ease that feeling?

Don't make it sound like my physiological problem. It is not about feelings.

Although I do feel betrayed because someone works behind my back to sabotage 
what works in practice and replace it with inferior time consuming workflow.

We briefly discussed in May 2016 and I've said "NO" back then.
There were no consensus.

Who decided?
How it has been decided?
Where this has been recorded?
Apparently without announcing that decision?

I could find nothing about DEP-14 in this mail list since 2016-05 (until 
now).

It looks like nothing has been decided about DEP-14 as a new standard 
repository layout for Golang packaging team, fortunately.

Adopt DEP-14 branch naming in team workflow

Please do give us some reasons. Just complaining doesn't help...

In section 1.4 of https://go-team.pages.debian.net/workflow-changes.html
We only adopt the branch naming. The only difference is the master
branch now called debian/sid. I don't think that could be such
terrible as you described.

Will do. I wish "let's not do it because I don't like it" were enough...

Thanks. But there are more harmful suggestions like using "wrap-and-sort"...
So frustrating...

May be not as terrible but certainly not well justified either...

The change itself, already introduced to some repositories, causes confusion 
and inconsistencies as well as inconvenience in GitLab where default branch 
should be reconfigured.

Changing branch naming convention just should not be done without compelling 
reasons. Current practices are not too bad (not bad enough) to demand changes 
for vast majority of repositories.

"master" as a default branch targeting default upload suite "unstable" is 
natural and intuitive. There is no need to disrupt that.
