Bug#972674: ITP: toolbox -- Unprivileged container development environment
Alright so I've had a go at addressing the issues with mixed results. I've changed the names of the source and binary packages to what has been suggested andupdated the Maintainer field to the debian golang packaging team. I did try to migrate over to using dh-golang as the buildsystem but I ran into errors such as can't load package: package /usr/share/doc/golang-github-grpc-ecosystem-grpc-gateway-dev/examples/gateway: import "/usr/share/doc/golang-github-grpc-ecosystem-grpc-gateway-dev/examples/gateway": cannot import absolute path and wasn't able to find a solution. I had a look at how arch and fedora package toolbox and they all used meson, so it seems like that might be the best way to package it (and I have made a few improvements such as setting the profile_dir variable) although the biggest problem with it currently is that it pulls dependencies from github rather then using what's packaged in the repos. I believe that can be fixed by setting the GOPATH environment variable but I'm unsure as to what to set it to. If anyone is able to help, it would be much appreciated.

Bug#972674: ITP: toolbox -- Unprivileged container development environment
Hey Gunnar, That’s a good point you’ve raised. Personally I’m leaning towards the name podman-toolbox because it explicitly states the container runtime which toolbox is designed for; Although it doesn’t quite roll off the tongue as nice as container-toolbox. Although I’m open for suggestions/feedback.

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Hayley Hughes X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org <mailto:debian-de...@lists.debian.org> * Package name : toolbox Version : 0.0.96 Upstream Author : Red Hat contributors * URL : <https://github.com/containers/toolbox> * License : Apache-2 Description : Toolbox is a tool that offers a familiar package based environment for developing and debugging software that runs fully unprivileged using Podman. The toolbox environment is based on an OCI image such as fedora-toolbox. This image is used to create a toolbox container that seamlessly integrates with the rest of the operating system. This is rather handy to create what are sometimes referred to 'pet containers' where you can set up your development environment inside a container. This not only helps to keep your OS clean but also allows one to easily make it reproducible by creating custom images.
