buck2-go's Issues

Module handling

We need to have a way to handle go modules. They consist of multiple libraries (in buck sense) and kind of a pain to handle directly. I wrote some hacky go code to first parse the output of go mod graph and then download all the dependencies and also parse every go file in the module.zip file to handle dependencies of every subfolder (it doesn't work fully but I need to clean the code first). Bazel gazelle handles this by having a go-repository rule that handles this on the starlark side from what I see. We need to decide on in which side we want to handle this. I am leaning towards buck2-go side since third party repo handling is not as good as bazel since there is no repository phase.
