[pkg-go] Minutes for the DebConf17 BoF

[Sascha Steinbiss]

Hi all,

just a quick comment to one of Michael's questions:

True, and of course that would be preferable. I know that I had this
problem multiple times, but the only one I can name at the moment is
golang-github-dhowett-go-plist, located at:

  https://github.com/DHowett/go-plist

which in one of its files contained an (old?) import path of

  howett.net/plist

which wouldn't come through due to SSL issues.

Incidentally this upstream contacted me out of the blue recently and
asked for comments on how he might make things easier for us, so I'll
let them know about this particular problem.
I guess at least this one might work itself out on its own :)

Cheers
Sascha
