Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 + src:golang-gopkg-redis.v5
User: [email protected]
usertags: remove

The golang-gopkg-redis.v5 package ships upstream code from 2021 and
appears unmaintained.  It has no reverse dependencies in Debian.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-gopkg-redis.v5

The v6 branch is already packaged in Debian:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-go-redis-redis

The upstream project is active and currently at the v9 branch:

https://github.com/redis/go-redis

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.
