Unfortunately, it's not in Debian. I've found no RFP or ITP either.
Anyone here with sufficient understanding of both Go and Debian packaging, and wants to add it to Debian? Or should I file a RFP?
I see: [~] apt-cache search golang
Sorry if I was unclear: with "it", I was referring to xmpp-client, not to the Go tool chain.
Having the Go tool chain available is great, and a necessary first step, but that's quite different from being able to `apt-get install xmpp-client' and then see the upgrades and security fixes flow in just like for basically all other software I'm running.
Hopefully I'm *not* starting yet another discussion about whether per-language ways of distributing software (CPAN, go get, etc.) are useful or not (I think they are), or about the pros & cons of the new Grand Unified Software Repository™ (Github). Don't feed the troll :)
