@lanodan @wolf480pl I tend to agree that the Golang philosophy isn't compatible with stable distros'.

But hey, it is also super simple to use ready builds, so Debian just shouldn't bother... or they should treat these packages as a rolling distro would. Wouldn't be hard to create a new repo for that.

Again, all of the pain is self-inflicted and now users are using outdated software by default and upstream is wasting their time documenting how outdated distros packages are... hurray!

@wolf480pl Not sure I understand your nvm comment. How does it make it OK?

In my not so humble opinion, if a package is not at the latest version (LTS or not) before a stable release, it should be dropped from the distro since they have no hope of having the bandwidth to maintain the package if they can't even package its latest version.

@wolf480pl Seems like self-inflicted pain on their behalf. I would say if a project uses Go, just go with the flow and use their dependencies... then use this spare time to work on tooling to know when to rebuild packages and bump deps versions.

Owners are out, time to start hacking their feeding calendar again! #dogsofmastodon

@sima Translation: They once managed to compile a C file they wrote.

@XOrgFoundation Official update: gitlab.freedesktop.org is partially back, and we achieved 2 out of 3 of our goals \o/!

All the services should be functional, albeit a little wonky due to services and data being in different datacenters.

Please report issues here, or on OFTC's #freedesktop IRC channel. We'll get back to them tomorrow morning, after a much-needed break, then proceed to consolidate all the services within the same datacenter.

Sorry again for the inconvenience!
