* Package name : golang-github-opennota-urlesc Version : 0.0~git20150208.0.5fa9ff0-1 Upstream Authors: The Go Authors, OpenNota * URL : https://github.com/opennota/urlesc * License : BSD-3-clause Programming Lang: Go Description : Proper URL escaping as per RFC3986 for Go Package urlesc implements query escaping as per RFC 3986 for the Go Programming Language. . It contains some parts of the net/url package, modified so as to allow some reserved characters incorrectly escaped by net/url (see issue 5684 (https://github.com/golang/go/issues/5684)). Reason for packaging: Needed by "github.com/PuerkitoBio/purell", which is needed by "github.com/spf13/hugo", i.e. Hugo the static website generator. Note that Go1.5 has fixed its URL escaping to fully conform with RFC3986, hence "github.com/opennota/urlesc" has finished its historic mission. However, as @PuerkitoBio noted: Yeah, it is now fixed in Go1.5 but it's unlikely people will all upgrade that fast, so I'd be tempted to leave it in for a while, at least until Go1.6, maybe even another release after that. I think a conditional build tag could be used, I may take a look at that when I have a moment, so I'll leave that open. -- from https://github.com/PuerkitoBio/purell/issues/14 so I think we should do the same with "github.com/opennota/urlesc" and keep it around until Debian migrate to Go1.6 or even Go1.7.
