Dear friends,
I am looking at changes in Podman upstream and noticed a recent upstream
change affecting the packaging of
`golang-github-containers-{storage,image,common}`. Upstream has merged
these three repositories into a single repository:
https://github.com/containers/container-libs
Also, upstream has provided rationale for this in a blog post at
https://blog.podman.io/2025/08/upcoming-migration-of-three-containers-repositories-to-monorepo/
My questions are:
a) If we decide to keep the separate source packages, how should we adjust
the `debian/watch` file? It doesn't look like they are using GitHub
releases (yet), but I do see usage of tags. What other projects have a
similar setup, and how do we handle this in Debian?
b) If we opt to package everything into a single source package, what would
the `debian/watch` file look like, and what version numbering scheme should
we use for the transition to this new setup?
Expert advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Reinhard
