Hi everyone. I’m just going some testing with the experimental version of Go that’s
currently in the archive (thanks tianon!). I notice that installing golang-go pulls in a
whole bunch of perl modules, as well as gcc and g++. Is this really necessary in the
new era of self-hosted Go? Can we at least move the current recommended packages
to suggested?
Here’s the relevant piece, in case you don’t a repo handy:
>Package: golang-go
>Architecture: amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 ppc64 ppc64el
>Depends: golang-src (>= ${source:Version}),
> ${misc:Depends},
> ${perl:Depends},
> ${shlibs:Depends}
>Replaces: <stuff>
>Recommends: g++, gcc, libc6-dev, pkg-config
>Suggests: bzr, ca-certificates, git, golang-golang-x-tools, mercurial, subversion
>Description: Go programming language compiler, linker, compiled stdlib
