# `missing-xs-go-import-path-for-golang-package`

This Golang source does not declare a `XS-Go-Import-Path` field in the `debian/control` file..

Many tools like `dh-make-golang(1)` use the field to resolve prerequisites correctly. It is also used in the Golang team's CI.

When using `dh-golang`, the field's value should be the same as `DH_GOPKG` in `debian/rules`. The `dh-golang` build system then automatically sets `DH_GOPKG` to the value from `XS-Go-Import-Path`.

For packages that do not use `dh-golang`, or for packages whose upstream does not publish the sources in a way compatible with `go get` (and hence does not have a canonical import path) you should use a fake import path. Please contact the Golang team at for more advice.

Severity: | `info`
Experimental: | `false`
