Hi, copying everyone currently listed as co-maintainer of the docker.io package in Debian.
I've decided to give this thing a stab. It seems Debian currently ships the same minor upstream version of docker.io 20.10 as we had in unstable, and more and more packages (such as podman) require significantly newer versions of docker. This is starting to do a serious disservice to our users. My current work in progress lives in https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/docker/-/tree/siretart/docker24?ref_type=heads. So far, I've: - identified that libnetwork got merged into gh:moby/moby, so I've removed references from the packaging - tried to follow README.source as much as possible - identified vendored sources and updated the Files-Excluded fields and debian/copyright as appropriate - refreshed patches against the new upstream version - identified circular dependencies and chose vendored versions to unbreak them. What I would appreciate help with: - reviewing what I've done. This is a very complex package that is done in a style that I'm not used to work with - help getting it to build (it currently doesn't, I suspect because at least some dependencies in debian are too old. I guess using vendored copies is the most expedient way to go about this? - update debian/copyright for new code additions - identify and drop unnecessary dependencies from debian/control. Thank you so much for your support and assistance! -rt -- regards, Reinhard
