Bug#1022798: ITP: golang-github-golang-protobuf -- Go support for Google's protocol buffers



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Shengjing Zhu <zhsj@debian.org>

* Package name    : golang-github-golang-protobuf-1-5
  Version         : 1.5.2-1
  Upstream Author : Go
* URL             : https://github.com/golang/protobuf
* License         : BSD-3-clause
  Programming Lang: Go
  Description     : Go support for protocol buffers (version v1.5.x)

  This module (github.com/golang/protobuf) contains Go bindings for protocol
  buffers.
  .
  It has been superseded by golang-google-protobuf-dev package.
  .
  It is incompatible with golang-github-gogo-protobuf-dev package.
  .
  Version v1.3.x is provided in golang-goprotobuf-dev package.

Reason for packaging:

github.com/golang/protobuf 1.3 -> 1.4 is a great breaking change that is
incompatible with github.com/gogo/protobuf. Many packages have been
staled due to this.

So we need to duplicate the source. The development of
github.com/golang/protobuf is frozen. v1.5.2 is expected to be the final
version.
