Hi Simon,
I've created a new source and binary package, using the -v5 suffix. This
way, there's no need to check all reverse dependencies, because the
package with v4 is still available. However, packages needing the v5 of
golang-github-jackc-pgx can just Build-Depend on the newly uploaded package.
From what I understand, the "v{digit}" convention in go is used to
signal a (possibly) breaking change in the package's API. Therefore, I
think it's sensible to create a new package for such version suffixes
instead of trying to update an existing package.
If I'm not mistaken, both v4 and v5 could even be installed at the same
time without file conflicts. But I don't think this is a realistic
scenario, because those golang-*-dev packages are normally only used for
building other golang packages.
Regards,
Tobias
