Bug#1062445: yq: Replace with alternative yq app

2024-04-11 Thread Sheppard, Mark 
I second the original request.  I installed yq on my Mac using “brew install 
yq”, wrote a script and then deployed it to a Debian machine on which I’d run 
“apt install yq".  But when I ran the script on the Debian machine I got a 
syntax error in the “yq” command.  It was then that I realised Homebrew had 
installed the mikefarah version but Debian had installed the kislyuk version.  
Looking at the GitHub pages for the two projects the mikefarah one has over 
four times the number of stars of the kislyuk one so is the more popular of the 
two.  It’s also a separate fully-featured program rather than just being a 
wrapper round jq.

Dear Maintainer,

Will you consider replacing the current yq app with this one instead?

why do you want to have this different yq version?

I took a look into it before packaging yq and decided to not use it 
since it has a lot of go dependencies which are not yet in Debian.
