Dear Go/Lua Teams
I have recently filed an ITP for packaging micro a text editor [1] ,
a simple terminal Text editor written mostly in Go, some Lua and other languages.
[1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=888813
The upstream package is present here [2]
[2] https://github.com/zyedidia/micro
This is my first attempt trying to package a multi programming language project.
I have previously done some language specific packages from Ruby and Javascript [3]

Now I am looking to figure out the dependencies of the main package so that I can build a
dependency tree for it.
What are the initial steps I should be looking at do build the correct dependency trees for
dependent Go/Lua or any other language projects?
Once I can figure out the dependency tree I can determine, which of the dependencies are already packaged
and which are not so I can start working on packaging the one's which are remaining.
I have already started reading the documentation for Go[4] and Lua [5] specific packages.

Looking forward to help the Go/Lua Teams with packages for micro as well as Team maintained packages.
Thanks,
Raju
