Go Debian: Writing Debian tooling in Go

There's certainly a lot of opportunity, I think, to improve the Linux package management ecosystem. For example, Spacewalk is kind of terrible and I'd love build some projects implementing smaller parts of it (like checking security errata, SCAP audits), but working with rpm is a real bummer.
Personally, I only have good experiences with spacewalk, rpm, yum, dnf, mock, koji, kojira, &c, but I am also aware that there may be other, better systems out there.
Most of this just has to be done. I take your point, but I couldn't find much. And I'm a debian developer - who knows what most non-Debian people would find. The best APIs are in `libapt`, which is C++, and cgo won't work with that all that well.
So, yes, you're right. This is yet another project. That's uncool, but there's not a ton of other ways out, short of me making a clean C shared library and get everyone to switch to that :)
i never had to deal with that, so i assumed it was as nice as the rest of the debian stuff i had to deal in the past. Glad you're on to it! :D
But this is a general rant, not specific to this website.

Edit: What? Too far out of the box?
