That works for me! Out of curiosity, is the having the Microsoft WSL2 kernel in the build environment an issue? I know that Debian can be a bit particular about that.

I'm not yet on the debian-med salsa-or the salsa at all for that matter. Do you need anything aside from my GPG pubkey and my email?

Hi Andrew,

thanks a lot for contacting the list.

There were a few dependencies that needed backporting as well (golang-github-twotwotwo-sorts-dev, golang-github-shenwei356-bwt-dev, golang-github-shenwei356-bio-dev, golang-github-shenwei356-breader-dev, and golang-github-shenwei356-util-dev) but everything runs with no issue and no patch. I wouldn't mind maintaining this myself, but I thought I'd ask if there was any preexisting build infrastructure before posting over on the mentors list.

In any case there is no need to contact the mentors list.  In Debian Med we coordinate here (or on debian-med at lists.debian.org which is more user
centric) and usually the sponsoring is done in less than 24h.

There is no real backporting infrastructure.  I'm using a small helper script do_backport[1] which is a very simple hack and not heavily tested but works in many cases sufficiently well (patches and enhancements welcome as always ;-) ).

If you would do the backporting in Git and push the bullseye-backports branch to salsa (we'd happily add you to med-team on salsa if you are no member yet) sponsoring will be done quickly.  I personally do sponsoring from salsa Git only (not from mentors) since this enables me to quickly do changes if needed.

I've set Nilesh in CC who has done most of the golang packages - may be he has some more comments.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
