NAME

       gophian - Tools to help with Debianizing Go software

SYNOPSIS

       gophian <SUBCOMMAND> [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Gophian is a featureful and intelligent tool to assist developers in packaging Go software for the Debian
       distribution.

       So  you  want  to package some nifty piece of software you found, and it's 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  a
       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  when  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.
