Status for golang-honnef-go-tools/2026.2.2-1

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
0002-Add-local-copy-of-x-tools-go-expect.patch Add local copy of x/tools/go/expect
go-tools imports golang.org/x/tools/go/expect, a long-deprecated package
that upstream only keeps around for the sake of analysistest. It was
removed from golang.org/x/tools and therefore is not shipped by Debian's
golang-golang-x-tools-dev, so the build fails to resolve the import.

Copy internal/xtools-internal/expect to a new top-level golang-x-tools/
directory, which debian/rules rewrites the import path to. Because the
copy is created from the upstream tree rather than maintained by hand, it
has to be regenerated whenever upstream changes the expect API, which
happened for 2026.2.1 where MatchBefore, parse and ExtractGo switched
from taking a *token.File to taking a *token.FileSet.

Not forwarding this upstream: the import path rewrite is specific to how
Debian builds this package, and upstream has no reason to drop support
for the deprecated x/tools/go/expect package.		 "Dr. Tobias Quathamer" <toddy@debian.org> not-needed 2026-09-30
0003-Skip-TestRmdirAfterGoList_Direct-in-sbuild-environme.patch Skip TestRmdirAfterGoList_Direct in sbuild environments
The test runs 'go list -json example.com/p' on a directory that is not
part of any module, which only resolves outside of a build chroot with a
writable GOPATH. In the sbuild chroot this fails with 'cannot find
package example.com/p in any of: /usr/lib/go-1.27/src/example.com/p
(from GOROOT)'.

The _Runner variant of this test is already skipped upstream because it
was found to be flaky (golang/go#73736), but the _Direct variant is not.
The failure is an artefact of the build environment rather than a bug in
the code under test, so it is not forwarded upstream.		 Reinhard Tartler <siretart@tauware.de> not-needed 2026-09-30
0004-Skip-TestCalls-in-typeindex-in-sbuild-environments.patch Skip TestCalls in typeindex in sbuild environments
The test uses packages.Load to load a package named 'foo' that it has
just created in a temporary directory. In the sbuild chroot go list
cannot resolve it, producing 'cannot find package foo in any of:
/usr/lib/go-1.27/src/foo (from GOROOT)'.

This is a constraint of the offline build environment rather than a bug
in the code under test, so it is not forwarded upstream.		 Reinhard Tartler <siretart@tauware.de> not-needed 2026-09-30
0005-Skip-TestSyntax-and-remove-go-cmp-dependency-in-go-i.patch Skip TestSyntax and remove go-cmp dependency in go/ir tests
builder_test.go imports github.com/google/go-cmp/cmp. go-cmp is only used
by TestSyntax, but because it is a file-level import the whole go/ir test
package fails to build with '[setup failed]' when the module is not
available. Debian does not want to pull golang-github-google-go-cmp-dev
into Build-Depends just to compare a diff in a single test, so switch the
comparison to reflect.DeepEqual, which needs no extra dependency, and skip
TestSyntax as well.

Not forwarded upstream: the dependency is available in a normal upstream
build, so dropping the test there would lose coverage.		 Reinhard Tartler <siretart@tauware.de> not-needed 2026-09-30
