[pkg-go] Bash script to help automate the work of upgrading a Debian Go libraries

[Anthony Fok]

Hello all!

Attached is a somewhat quick-and-dirty Bash script to help me automate
much of the work in upgrading/refreshing Go libraries for Debian.
Hope you find this helpful too!  It is also available for download
here:

https://gist.github.com/anthonyfok/8d3a2909eb8c8211456b

Caveats:

 1. It does not work out of the box...
     unless you compiled your own dh-make-golang from source like me
     (to handle unannotated/lightweight git tags) and had GOPATH set to ~/go.
     So yes, you'll have to tweak the script before using.  :-)

 2. I probably should have used mktemp rather than setting TMPDIR statically
     to /tmp/tmp-dh-make-golang ...  So yes, until this is fixed,
please don't run
     more than one instance at a time.

 3. It is currently only for upstream repositories that do not make
tarball releases,
     as it only (blindly) downloads the latest upstream snapshot.

So, there you have it!  Hope this little script helps save you some time too!
And yes, feel free to extend the script to your needs!

Cheers,
Anthony
