godoc missing from 1.2 packages in Trusty

[James Henstridge]

I've upgraded to the 2:1.2-1ubuntu1 golang packages in Trusty, and noticed that the godoc tool is no longer included in the packages.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I think this is a bug upstream which has flowed down in debian.

godoc moved into an external repository in 1.2, but *should* have been included in the src tarball.

Rasing issue upstream.

Looking at the package metadata, the golang-go package now recommends a "golang-go.tools" package, which is not present in the Ubuntu archive.

It has been present in Debian since 3rd December though:

    http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/golang-go.tools.html

Here is the list of the tools it contains:

I'm working with the upstream to resolve this issue, but I think it may not
be a super fast resolution.

How do I go about requesting this new package be bought into the archive
for T ?

This seems to be the process for requesting a new package from Debian:

golang-go.tools is now in trusty (was failing to build - now fixed).
