So this packaging is actually going roundly, as most dependencies are
packaged but one.

A problem that was identified, however, is the "Unlicense" which I
wasn't aware of:

https://github.com/zaquestion/lab/issues/294

Is the license truly non-DFSG free? Or just problematic so that the
uthor should avoid it? I'm wondering if we should block packaging on
this or might be able to move forward...

I'm also interested in having this in Debian.

Thanks!

I think it's the latter. As a data point, there's already a lot of
software under this license in Debian:

Okay then maybe we should relax the push we're doing on github then,
because we're making it look like we won't package it unless the license
is changed...

In any case, upstream has changed the license of lab to CC0 1.0 as of version

Felix, could you resume packaging this software ?

All the best

Hi,

Do you know anyone with upload privileges? :) Please feel free to
upload the required prerequisite

    golang-github-xanzy-go-gitlab

in #947304. My RFS had no takers for a month. I will package git-lab
for you afterwards.

Kind regards
Felix

I looked at git-lab but got completely stuck on the dependencies: they
are very specific, and in particular, go.mod includes the override
line:

replace github.com/spf13/cobra => github.com/rsteube/cobra v0.0.1-zsh-completion-custom

How do you propose to handle that?  I couldn't think of a way to do
so, unless you are able to package the replacement cobra as well.

The version of xanzy in debian/sid on salsa is very out of date - the
upstream version is now 0.22, but debian/sid is lagging on 0.15.

Best wishes,

   Julian

Hi Julian,

State of package on Mentors (based on upstream's version 0.22) was
pushed to the golang team repo.

Kind regards

Ah, sorry, my pull didn't seem to update my local repository
correctly.

Best wishes,
