Bug#1037252: golang-github-smallstep-cli: provide a binary package containing the step-cli executable

The problem is that smallstep-cli (and also its counterpart smallstep-ca) require versions of golang-google-genproto-dev and golang-google-grpc-dev that are stuck in experimental for a quite some while now[1]. I had to strip out major parts in order to get the smallstep libraries into bookworm at all. Thanks for the update, Peymaneh. Hopefully with the new stable release now done, things can start rolling out of experimental again. Drew

Hi Drew, Am 9.

I had to strip out major parts in order to get the smallstep libraries into bookworm at all. Instead of waiting for these to enter unstable/testing, the alternative would be to vendor the needed libraries within the smallstep packages, however this does not seem to be a sustainable solution to me and I am hesitant to put the effort into that. Once this issue is resolved, I would definitely like to finally package smallstep-cli :) cheers, Peymaneh [1]: see https://lists.debian.org/debian-go/2022/11/msg00061.html for context OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Bug#1037252: golang-github-smallstep-cli: provide a binary package containing the step-cli executable
Source: golang-github-smallstep-cli Version: 0.15.16+ds-3 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: debian...@lists.debian.org Currently golang-github-smallstep-cli only provides the source code (golang-github-smallstep-cli-dev package) for use when building other packages. But the upstream smallstep-cli code builds a binary executable (either bin/step or bin/step-cli). Perhaps this is new in more recent upstream releases, the toplevel Makefile is now quite different. This executable has started to be required for two-factor authentication enabling access of some HPC computational facilities, so it's important for archive integrity to have it build for Debian rather than grabbing prebuilt executables such as those provided at https://github.com/smallstep/cli/releases/tag/v0.24.4 Can src:golang-github-smallstep-cli please now start providing the cli binary executable? I think the binary package should be called smallstep-cli (or maybe step-cli) but you might have your own preferred naming policy.
