If you look at the packaging history of runc, you can find we did multiple times to backport upstream commits to build with the latest version of go-criu. Please be aware that go-criu's version should be aligned with criu. https://github.com/checkpoint-restore/go-criu?tab=readme-ov-file#releases So it won't make sense to have versioned go-criu as we don't have versioned criu. To reduce the risk by patching runc, I have run all upstream integration tests in autopkgtest. https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/runc/-/blob/debian/1.1.5+ds1-1/debian/tests/integration But the criu part hasn't been run (skipped due to not installing criu), not sure if I just forgot or the debci infra doesn't support. -- Shengjing Zhu
