Launchpad itself

Unknown section "golang"

Asked by Vincent Bernat

Hello,

In Debian, Lintian has been updated to complain when using the "wrong" section for some packages. Notably, we happen to have a "golang" section. All golang-related packages should go in there. Therefore, when a package is imported from Debian, you are more likely to reject it because of that.

Do we actually have such a section yet in Debian? https://bugs.debian.org/847520 exists, but it's still open, I see no commit to dak adding the section, the name appears to be in some dispute, and I don't see any packages in unstable with that section.

It looks to me as though Lintian may have jumped the gun here ...

Well, I have uploaded this one: https://packages.debian.org/sid/golang-github-osrg-gobgp-dev but I remember a section change needs a hint from FTP masters, so yes, maybe there is nothing yet.
