Hi everybody,

I have to finally admit that I'll never again be able to play catch-up with the ever-changing sprawling go library dependency tree of syncthing.

I have switched to using bundled dependencies for syncthing ~years ago already, and I do not have the time nor the energy to do the amount of work that would be necessary to un-bundle everything again. The following packages are now orphaned:

• golang-github-calmh-du
• golang-github-calmh-xdr
• golang-github-chmduquesne-rollinghash
• golang-github-d4l3k-messagediff

...

• golang-github-gobwas-glob

This one is used by hugo, and you're already admin, so you probably want to become primary maintainer, Athos.

Taken. Thanks for the heads up here :)

...

• golang-github-jackpal-gateway
• golang-github-minio-sha256-simd
• golang-github-petermattis-goid
• golang-github-syncthing-notify
• golang-github-thejerf-suture
• golang-github-vitrun-qart

...

• golang-gopkg-asn1-ber-1
• golang-gopkg-ldap-2

These two are used by golang-vitess, Robert-André.

...

I think most of them have never been used for anything but building syncthing, so they have been useless baggage for me for years. Some are also used by other packages, and I hope that those few can find a new home.

The packages should comply with the latest Packaging Guidelines for Go, should be up-to-date, and are all building successfully, with passing test suites.

Thanks. Fabio
