Generate a Debian package

[AlexandreBonneau]

Hi, rclone mega backend cannot be activated under Debian since it depends on go-mega, which is not packaged (see this issue).

Would it be possible to package go-mega as a Debian package?

[ncw]

It would be necessary to find a Debian maintainer to package it. Although I do maintain the go-mega package, I'm not a debian maintainer.

please create a package for debian

[web-pat]

How much effort would that be to create a debian package and maintain it, specifically in this case? I'd volunteer to do so but have had no previous experience maintaining a package.

[AlexandreBonneau]

@web-pat well, you can try :)

[ncw]

This needs a debian maintainer to add go-mega to debian as a debian source package.

This isn't something we (the maintainers of go-mega) can do, it needs to be a debian maintainer.

You can try filing a Debian Request For Package if you can work out how!

@toddy15 or @dmferrari or @bertogg

Would anyone please be able to help package this for debian? This blocks mega support in rclone

Thanks for contacting me, but unfortunately I don't really have time for that, I have never used this software. As @nwc said earlier maybe an RFP helps.

I've created a "bug" under Work-Needing and Prospective Packages to request go-mega be added to Debian so rclone can work with Mega.nz storage: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1039997

Letting you know that I've packaged this in Debian (it's just been accepted into Debian Unstable).

I'll close this now then - thank you @Maytha8 :-)
