I can do the sponsorship, send me the list of things to review by mail! :) -- PEB signature.asc Description: PGP signature

The issue with said package is that it doesn't follow Debian packaging guidelines. We can't vendor all the deps like it's done here. Some vendoring might be OK in very specific cases, but here we have to take the long road. The progress on packaging LXD deps is tracked in gobby.debian.org at Teams/Go/lxd-deps-packaging. An http export is here: https://gobby.debian.org/export/Teams/Go/lxd-dep-packaging. As you can see, there are still a lors of dependancies. I doubt we'll be able to make this enter Debian before the soft freeze, but if enough people want to help, that might still be possible. Intested parties, please don't hesitate to just tag some entries in the Gobby doc or ping me on IRC (nodens) to tell me what you're working on. Cheers, -- nodens

Yes, Adnan is in pkg-lxc and technically the team is interested (given it falls into the same software stack) to have the whole stack available in Debian. But I must admit I personally have no use for it and not enough Go knowledge to package it properly. > > What's the state of the Ubuntu package? Could that make a good starting > > point?

Yes, taking the Ubuntu package is a start is what we did with the other LXC components and that worked out pretty well so far. > I took a quick look at the package source obtained via: > > dget -u > http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/lxd/lxd_2.2-0ubuntu1.dsc ... > So, I guess the first step would be to package > golang-gopkg-flosch-pongo2.v3, golang-gopkg-inconshreveable-log15.v2, > golang-gopkg-lxc-go-lxc.v2 and golang-petname, or simply grab these > existing Ubuntu packages, make a few minor changes to debian/control > and debian/changelog, file ITPs to the Debian BTS, and finally upload > them to Debian. > > I do not see too many hurdles after that, at least I hope not. ;-) IIRC that's similar to what Adnan told me the last time we talked about LXD. > Also, should the Debian lxd be team-maintained by the pkg-lxc team or > the pkg-go team? What do you think? Whatever works? :-) Stack-wise it's more pkg-lxc, language-wise pkg-go... I'd guess it will need coordination to both, LXC and other Go uploads at times too. Greets Evgeni
