Hi Tianon, thanks for your quick reply. I agree that it's a pity to remove gb, but as you've said, the current implementation does not work with golang-1.10 and it even fails to build with golang-1.9. Therefore, in its current state, gb would not be part of buster anyway. I've now reassigned this bug from gb to ftp.d.o, to ask for removal from unstable. If upstream comes up with a newer version, working with golang-1.10, we still have some time left to reintroduce the package. The Debian packaging is still in our git repository on salsa.d.o, so it should be rather simple to create a new package. Regards, Tobias signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

As sad as I am to see it go, it's a non-trivial amount of work to update it for Go 1.10 (and upstream hasn't been very active on it given other commitments and Go 1.11's new functionality making some of it moot to a degree). I love gb, but it's sane to RM it for now (we can always look to reintroduce if/when it gets a refresh for newer Go). ♥, - Tianon 4096R / B42F 6819 007F 00F8 8E36 4FD4 036A 9C25 BF35 7DD4
Bug#915455: Removal of gb?
Source: gb Version: 0.4.4-2 Hi Tianon, I was wondering if your package "gb" could be fixed to build with the current golang-1.10 compiler. Right now, it has a hard dependency on golang-1.9 and FTBFS, therefore preventing the removal of the old and obsolete golang-1.9 package: https://bugs.debian.org/915438 Do you think that gb can be fixed to build with golang-1.10? If not, would you agree to remove gb from unstable? Regards, Tobias signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
