I've had responding to this on my TODO list for a while, sorry about that.

I checked the package with dh-make-golang estimate, it doesn't seem too much work to package this:

$ dh-make-golang estimate github.com/folbricht/desync
 cloud.google.com/go/storage is packaged as cloud.google.com/go in Debian (golang-google-cloud) github.com/hanwen/go-fuse/v2 has no version string in Debian (golang-github-hanwen-go-fuse) github.com/minio/minio-go/v6 has no version string in Debian (golang-github-minio-minio-go) Bringing github.com/folbricht/desync to Debian requires packaging the following Go modules: github.com/folbricht/desync github.com/boljen/go-bitmap github.com/folbricht/tempfile

golang-google-cloud-dev contains the storage library.

The versions of golang-github-hanwen-go-fuse and golang-github-minio-minio-go in debian match the required version by desync.

github.com/boljen/go-bitmap and github.com/folbricht/tempfile don't depend on any packages not already in debian and I opened #1133306 #1133307 to track them.


I will give packaging it a go later this week.

Need to make sure we don't forget about this. I think the best way would be to open a bug to rauc source package, mentioning this bug.
Do you want to open that bug or shall I?
I can do the changes to the rauc packaging once this package has been accepted.


Cheers!

Chris
