<div dir="ltr">I'm attaching a debdiff that implements my idea for this, but it has a downside: lots of golang-.*-dev packages depend on golang-go (323 in current sid according to my grep-dctrl). They really shouldn't, but this hampers swapping out golang-go for gccgo-go in Build-Depends for a test sbuild. A workaround would be to have gccgo-go Provides: golang-go, which is awful but does seem to work in my testing and seems nicer than 300-odd uploads...<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>mwh</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 28 October 2016 at 01:38, Matthias Klose <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:doko@debian.org" target="_blank">doko@debian.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Package: src:golang-defaults<br>

With the golang-any package it should be possible to use go architectures<br>
providing only gccgo. As seen in #840190, and I assume in one of the<br>
golang-defaults bugs, there was the proposal to handle the go and gofmt links by<br>
alternatives. Apparently now silently removed from the golang-defaults package.<br>
With the alternatives approach it was easy to test build a package on amd64<br>
using gccgo, this is not possible anymore. Please provide an easy way to build<br>
a package using gccgo on architectures which default to golang by default.<br>
