NAME

       gophian - Tools to help with Debianizing Go software

SYNOPSIS

       gophian <SUBCOMMAND> [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       The  currently  recommended  dh-make-golang tool is known to be unreliable and relies on various outdated
       and deprecated libraries to function. gophian seeks to change that, by replicating the  functionality  of
       "go get" in Python, and providing something that works out of the box, as well as adding on more features
       and more intelligence to improve the Go packaging experience.

       So  you  want  to  package some nifty piece of software you found, and its written in Go? Look no further
       than  Gophian!   To   start   out,   make   sure   that   it   hasn't   already   been   packaged   using
       https://packages.debian.org  or  "apt  search".  Ensure  that  there  isn't already an existing effort by
       checking for any open Intent to Package (ITP) bugs using wnpp-check(1).

       Next, you'll want to use gophian-estimate(1) to estimate the amount  of  work  that  will  be  needed  to
       package  this  software  for Debian. This subcommand will list any dependencies that are not available as
       packages in Debian yet in a tree format. gophian-estimate-graphviz(1) may also be useful to create visual
       tree with Graphviz, especially for large or complex dependency graphs.

       Then, you can use gophian-make(1) to prepare some initial Debian packaging for  the  software,  including
       setting  up  a  Git  repo,  importing the latest upstream version, and creating some packaging templates,
       inferring and filling in  values  for  you  if  available.  Refer  to  gophian-make(1)  for  an  in-depth
       explanation of this subcommand's use.

       Refer to the individual subcommand manual pages for more detailed information.
