golang: The packaging of the golang package looks reasonable well, it is based on the the Debian packaging. In Ubuntu the package suffered regular maintenance up to and beyond the 15.04 release (vivid). It's good to see another attempt to maintain this package.
While not required, it is good to see that shared library support is being worked on, and targeted for the upcoming 1.6. release. golang is not just a build dependency for juju, but for various packages within the phone stack, so it will require coordination with other teams to introduce new versions and keep the packages buildable. >From my point of view this just didn't happen in the past. I suppose that golang 1.6 is targeted for the anticipated 16.04 LTS release, so please make sure that maintenance and update plans are made and communicated (see UOS in about two weeks). Having seen these past issues, and issues with another not well maintained language stack in main for the last two years (ruby), I'm asking for explicit confirmation that the teams who are supposed to maintain golang do have the required resources to do so. This will not only include the maintenance of the golang package, but also the maintenance of go libraries in main, and an eye to other go library packages in the archive. Setting the status for golang to incomplete, and waiting for this confirmation. After that I think the package can be promoted to main. ** Changed in: golang (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: golang (Ubuntu) Assignee: Matthias Klose (doko) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to golang-github-bmizerany-pat in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1267393 Title: [MIR] juju-core, juju-mongodb, gccgo, golang To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dh-golang/+bug/1267393/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
