No discouragement taken :-). I am certainly interested in tackling more comprehensive tasks in Debian besides packaging, such as better quality control; whether through partially automating reviews of sponsorship requests to give quicker feedback to new maintainers; or preventing packages from entering testing that do not build reproducibly or fail autopkgtest; or integrating version control into the archive. My personal background is in physics, so I would love to strengthen Debian’s position in science. Unfortunately, scientific users have seemingly univocally migrated to OS X laptops a long time ago, while workstations and HPC clusters around here are dominated by RHEL and CentOS due to their official support by hardware vendors. Further, software is usually installed using environment-modules or lmod, which is orthogonal to the distribution’s packaging system. I am always happy to be proven otherwise by hearing stories of Debian being used in science.

I agree, debian/rules of golang packages is (ideally) trivial. That said, I can think of quite a few metrics to evaluate maintainer ability based on golang packaging: how carefully has debian/copyright been composed; to which extent has the maintainer collaborated with upstream, e.g., to motivate them to tag releases, to file pull requests for forked packages so that the original packages can be used in Debian, to fix their test suite, to ask for license clarification, etc. Regards, Peter signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Pkg-go-maintainers mailing list Pkg-go-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-go-maintainers
