About

Packaging a Golang package for Debian requires all the Golang dependencies to be already packaged for Debian, so we need to know all the dependencies and sub-dependencies for the Golang project, and then we need to know which out of them is not yet packaged for Debian.

GoCheckDeb is a tool to do the same, it will get all the Golang project dependencies and sub-dependencies and filter out the ones which are not packaged yet. You can also use this tool in your project, you just have to import the gocheckdeb library.

Using this tool you can print Graph, Tree or a List of dependencies, plus you have some other minor features to make it better.
