Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Control: affects -1 + src:golang-inet-netstack User: [email protected] usertags: remove
The golang-inet-netstack package contains unmaintained upstream code. It has no reverse dependencies in Debian. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-inet-netstack The upstream project was archived in 2022: https://github.com/inetaf/netstack This repo is no longer maintained. As of Go 1.17 and its lazy module loading we no longer need it, so we now just use upstream gVisor directly. This removal request is part of a larger batch to remove 100+ unused golang-*-dev packages from Debian. I believe the QA cost associated with keeping all of them is larger than the cost of (hopefully extremely rare) re-introduction of any accidentally removed package if there is ever any future need for it. Meanwhile, I don't think it is useful to keep this package in Debian. /Simon jas@frallan:~$ ssh mirror.ftp-master.debian.org dak rm -Rn golang-inet-netstack Will remove the following packages from unstable: golang-inet-netstack | 0.0~git20211120.8aa80cf2-6 | source golang-inet-netstack-dev | 0.0~git20211120.8aa80cf2-6 | all Maintainer: Debian Go Packaging Team <[email protected]> ------------------- Reason ------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Checking reverse dependencies...
