This package is archived upstream: https://github.com/henrybear327/go-proton-api On the surface, it seems like a bad idea to ship this in forky. Is there any motivation for that? It seems to be a stale (2 commits) fork of https://github.com/ProtonMail/go-proton-api The motivation for the fork appears to be driven by this upstream project: https://github.com/henrybear327/Proton-API-Bridge However that has also been archived. Let's look into how we can untangle the reverse dependencies to not use this package, and replace it with a maintained fork. /Simon
github.com/henrybear327/go-proton-api is superseded by github.com/rclone/go-proton-api It is used by rclone. It (they) are a deliberate fork of github.com/ProtonMail/go-proton-api that maintains compatibility with rclone. Their intention is to ultimately push needful patches back to go-proton-api upstream but the goal of dropping the fork (rclone, not henrybear327) is not reached yet. golang-github-henrybear327-go-proton-api can be removed once golang-github-rclone-go-proton-api is operational. The same arguments apply to golang-github-henrybear327-proton-api-bridge superseded by golang-github-rclone-proton-api-bridge
