I know that, this is why I sponsored it with the warning
(pkg-go is somewhat special here)

You are the maintainer, this isn't clearly a showstopper for me
(I sponsored the packages because I don't require this right now),
so it should only be up to you to know when and if enable it.

Enable, test, upload on experimental, whatever you think is the best
workflow. In the real world, as you said, it won't make much difference
in your packages.

so, lets postpone unless you have some additional changes to drag in :)

Hi Gianfranco,

Thank you for all the uploads.

This is indeed an issue with golang micropackages, since the upstream
authors usually don’t provide more than a few words. For collections
of miscellaneous functions (os, net, …), one would probably need to
summarize each function for a meaningful description. I will take
another look at some point at pkg-go/packages to see how this is
handled in practice.

I was considering the possibility of backports, but this is actually
not an issue since debhelper is up-to-date in jessie-backports. Still,
would you say it is reasonable to postpone the switch to compat 10
till after the freeze? Where appropriate, I have already enabled
autoreconf and parallel builds.

Regards,
Peter

I changed Vcs-Browser from /cgit/ → /git/ (to make Mattia happy).

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist
Control: block 839981 by -1

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the package "golang-github-hlandau-dexlogconfig":

  git clone 
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-go/packages/golang-github-hlandau-dexlogconfig.git
  cd golang-github-hlandau-dexlogconfig && pristine-tar checkout 
../golang-github-hlandau-dexlogconfig_0.0~git20160722.0.055e2e3.orig.tar.gz

This package is a prerequisite for uploading a new version of
acmetool, a client for the Let’s Encrypt certificate authority.

For verification, these are the current branch heads:

  git show-ref --heads
  3406fc6e76a13447f87b3dbb342f1dd1e22a6dfb refs/heads/master
  ff9363988d9a04af3c305da92601cefcfa34b995 refs/heads/pristine-tar
  378055fd7ed02150ee0df825c25e4eaf407c9143 refs/heads/upstream

Please note that while the package has to go through the NEW queue,
the code is already contained in the archive as part of the package
golang-github-hlandau-degoutils. The upstream author has recently
split the former into three separate packages (goutils, buildinfo,
dexlogconfig), of which dexlogconfig is the last in the dependency chain.

Please see these messages on pkg-go-maintainers for a review, which
discusses in particular the implications on the Debian packaging of
the novel licensing scheme devised by the upstream author.
