What about the golang package itself?

I think I'd prefer you spelled out the relevant packages rather than using a wildcard.

[l2dy]

golang is not in https://github.com/hashbang/shell-etc/blob/master/packages.txt.

$ dpkg -l | grep golang
ii  golang-go                             2:1.3.3-1                            amd64        Go programming language compiler
ii  golang-go-linux-amd64                 2:1.3.3-1                            amd64        Go standard library compiled for linux_amd64
ii  golang-src                            2:1.3.3-1                            amd64        Go programming language compiler - source files

I thought it might matter if some package brought in 'golang' as a dependency?

[l2dy]

Updated. I still prefer using a wildcard.

[KellerFuchs]

I think having the wildcard in that case makes sense; otherwise, we would potentially have an inconsistent mix of Go 1.7 and 1.3.

[KellerFuchs]

@l2dy Sorry this is kinda stalled right now, as I've not been available to deal with some issues related to package deployments.
I will be getting to this as soon as I can, though. :)

There is nothing you need to do, just letting you know I didn't forget about this.

[lrvick]

@KellerFuchs We are good to merge this now yeah?

[KellerFuchs]

@lrvick Should be.

[l2dy]

Should this be closed in favor of update to Debian 9 Stretch?

[RyanSquared]

Depends on when we plan on updating. I didn't even know stretch was ready until last night.

[ghost]

Am I correct in assuming that any upgrade to Stretch is waiting on our local testing setup (I think the issue # is hashbang/shell-server#43?), so we should merge this now rather than waiting on local testing being ready Soon(tm)?

[RyanSquared]

Pretty much everything is.

so we should merge this now rather than waiting on local testing being ready Soon(tm)?

I dunno. Some people want to wait until we're fully migrated to continue things that aren't security-critical.

[l2dy]

I'll just install go in $HOME.
