I made a tweak to d/watch and was ready to upload this to NEW when I noticed that cols.go is generated by scripts/regenerate.go which downloads https://jonasjacek.github.io/colors/data.json.
I think that is somewhat problematic -- please consider 1) vendor that data.json file and run scripts/regenerate.go during build, or 2) find/create a Debian package with that data.json file (which appears to be DFSG-compatibly licensed) and Build-Depends on it and make scripts/regenerate.go use it. You probably have to patch regenerate.go to not download things but use a local file, maybe a upstream report about could help (or at least a bug report to make them aware of this). If you find that too difficult, maybe try to reproduce the cols.go output manually and document your experience in debian/README.source in a way that convince me and the DFSG Team that this is not a problem. /Simon Azeez Syed <[email protected]> writes: > Hi Simon, > > thanks, yes I would appreciate a sponsor. > > I have applied all the suggested changes on debian/sid : > > - dropped debian/.gitignore > - migrated debian/watch to format 5 > - bumped Standards-Version to 4.7.4 > - dropped Priority and Rules-Requires-Root from debian/control > - dropped the redundant Section field from the binary stanza > - ran wrap-and-sort -sabtk > - added sign-tags = True and upstream-vcs-tag = v%(version)s to gbp.conf > > Pushed to > https://salsa.debian.org/azeezalishah/golang-github-leaanthony-go-ansi-parser > > Validated in a sid sbuild chroot: uscan v5 finds all upstream tags and > generates the correct tarball URL; lintian is clean apart from one > pedantic-only message (debian-watch-does-not-check-openpgp-signature > — upstream doesn't sign releases). > > I've also sent a control message to set you as Owner of #1136962. > > /Azeez > > On Mon, May 18, 2026 at 1:11 PM Simon Josefsson <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Azeez Syed <[email protected]> writes: >> >> > Hi, >> > >> > I've packaged golang-github-leaanthony-go-ansi-parser (ITP: #1136962), >> > a Go library that parses ANSI escape codes in strings, supporting ANSI >> > 16/256/TrueColor, all common text styles, and grapheme-aware truncation. >> > >> > It is needed as a dependency for updating golang-github-cli-go-gh-v2 >> > to v2.12.0, which is in turn needed for updating gh (GitHub CLI) to >> > v2.73.0 (Bug: #1119130). >> > >> > Packaging is at: >> > https://salsa.debian.org/azeezalishah/golang-github-leaanthony-go-ansi-parser >> > >> > The package builds cleanly with lintian reporting no warnings. >> > Would appreciate a review and adoption under the go-team namespace. >> >> Add 'jas' as Owner and I'll move it to the go-team package namespace if >> you aren't able to do that.
