[pkg-go] gcsfuse -- fuse file system for Google Cloud Storage

[Michael Stapelberg]

Hey Aaron,

thanks for your interest in packaging gcsfuse for Debian. Are you
interested in doing the work yourself or do you just care about it being
done?

I see that you’ve already found
http://pkg-go.alioth.debian.org/packaging.html, which outlines how we do
things. For generic Debian packaging tutorials, see e.g.
https://wiki.debian.org/IntroDebianPackaging or possibly
http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2013/debconf13/high/1009_Packaging_for_beginners.ogv
(have not watched the latter, but I assume it’s high-quality).

With regards to the overall steps, you’ll need to create a package for
every Go package that gcsfuse depends on (each one that isn’t already
packaged of course), which seem to be:

github.com/jacobsa/fuse
github.com/jacobsa/gcloud
github.com/jacobsa/oglematchers
github.com/jacobsa/oglemock
github.com/jacobsa/util/lrucache
golang.org/x/oauth2/google
golang.org/x/sys/unix
For golang.org/x/net/context, there is https://bugs.debian.org/755517

Tim Potter recently did something similar, see
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-go-maintainers/Week-of-Mon-20150518/000261.html
for his work and my review.

If anything is still unclear, please ask some specific questions :).
