[pkg-go] Bug#974550: golang-github-gomodule-redigo-dev: New upstream version available, using lower version number

[Michael Prokop]

Package: golang-github-gomodule-redigo-dev
Version: 2.0.0-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

while it looks like version 2.0.0-1 of the
golang-github-gomodule-redigo-dev package matches the latest
upstream version, this doesn't seem to really match reality.

Looking at https://github.com/gomodule/redigo/tags we have the
following versions/tags with their corresponding "release date" next
them:

v1.8.2 on 2020-06-08
v1.8.1 on 2020-05-06
v1.8.0 on 2020-04-30
v1.7.2 on 2020-04-30
v1.7.1 on 2020-04-30
v1.7.0 on 2018-12-13
v2.0.0 on 2018-03-14(!)

So v2.0.0 is actually the oldest version, while upstream's
newest version as of today is v1.8.2, due to a version number
downgrade to 1.7.0 after the 2.0.0 release back in 2018).

We can either only introduce an epoch version :-/ - or hope for
upstream raising their version number, I tried to bring this up at
upstream at https://github.com/gomodule/redigo/issues/532
