  <para>
   To extract dependency information from a Go package in automated way use
   <link xlink:href="https://github.com/kamilchm/go2nix">go2nix</link>. It can
   produce complete derivation and <varname>goDeps</varname> file for Go
   programs.

  <para>
   <varname>buildGoPackage</varname> produces
   <xref linkend='chap-multiple-output' xrefstyle="select: title" /> where
   <varname>bin</varname> includes program binaries. You can test build a Go
   binary as follows:
<screen>
    $ nix-build -A deis.bin
  </screen>
   or build all outputs with:
<screen>
    $ nix-build -A deis.all
  </screen>
   <varname>bin</varname> output will be installed by default with
   <varname>nix-env -i</varname> or <varname>systemPackages</varname>.

   You may use Go packages installed into the active Nix profiles by adding the
   following to your ~/.bashrc:

for p in $NIX_PROFILES; do

done
