Comment 103 for bug 1267393

golang:

The packaging of the golang package looks reasonable well, it is based
on the the Debian packaging. In Ubuntu the package suffered regular
maintenance up to and beyond the 15.04 release (vivid). It's good to
see another attempt to maintain this package.

While not required, it is good to see that shared library support is
being worked on, and targeted for the upcoming 1.6. release.

golang is not just a build dependency for juju, but for various
packages within the phone stack, so it will require coordination with
other teams to introduce new versions and keep the packages buildable.
From my point of view this just didn't happen in the past. I suppose
that golang 1.6 is targeted for the anticipated 16.04 LTS release, so
please make sure that maintenance and update plans are made and
communicated (see UOS in about two weeks).

Having seen these past issues, and issues with another not well
maintained language stack in main for the last two years (ruby), I'm
asking for explicit confirmation that the teams who are supposed to
maintain golang do have the required resources to do so. This will
not only include the maintenance of the golang package, but also the
maintenance of go libraries in main, and an eye to other go library
packages in the archive.

Setting the status for golang to incomplete, and waiting for this
confirmation. After that I think the package can be promoted to main.
