Hi Michael,
I'm not sure if this constitutes a bug in dh_golang, so I'm writing here
first. I'm working on
https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/golang-github-containers-image
which needs buildtags to avoid a dependency on ostree.
I'm in contact with upstream and we agreed that this dependency in not
worth the trouble keeping we agreed that for Debian, the best way to
proceed would be to use the buildtag containers_image_ostree_stub which
disables the package "github.com/containers/image/ostree".
As your recommendations in the other email thread, I've added the -tag
option to the dh_auto_build invocation. That appears to work fine.
However, the package build fails at the invocation of dh_golang. If I
understand the utility correctly, it invokes "go list" two times: The first
time to identify the golang packages that needs to be installed into the
Debian package, and a second time to identify what files are involved?
(Sorry, Perl is not my forte, and I think some commentary in the source
code on the thinking behind the '$tmpl' and '$gofiletmpl' variables that
are being passed to "go list" would be very valuable).
If I understand the control flow correctly, it is the 2nd invocation that
crashes with this error message:
dh_golang -O--buildsystem=golang

I believe fixing this might require changes in dh_golang, but I'd really
appreciate your opinion on this. Maybe there is a simple(r) solution that I
may be overlooking?
Thanks!
