Thank you! Just pushing it to a separate branch or personal fork on Salsa will allow me to move forward. >> 2) Would you be willing to add the Go code? > > Absolutely, and I would be grateful for it! > > The only "condition" would be that 2.73 migrates to testing before we > add a new package, just to ensure that trixie will be up to date, given > the 2025-03-15 freeze.

No problem, I understand and agree -- when I can take a look at your 2.73 packaging, I'll try to propose a merge request for 'libcap2' on Salsa that adds NEW golang-*-dev package and the associated debian/rules changes. Hopefully adding that won't break anything in the non-Go part of the build... then you can see if it builds for you, and do the NEW upload, maybe to experimental as first. I think it is permitted to continue upload to sid if you really need to, but it causes some version sort confusion so better is to get what you want into testing first and then do the NEW upload. /Simon
