Wow! @Nilesh, please have a look.

I did have a look earlier today.

gsort has dependency on unpackaged packages - "https://github.com/alexflint/go-arg" and "https://github.com/gogetdata/ggd-utils"

and "https://github.com/alexflint/go-arg" has dep on "https://github.com/alexflint/go-scalar" - which is again, not in the archive.

I however see alexflint/go-scalar packaged in salsa[1], and even uploaded but not in the archive and it even has an open ITP[2].

I've no idea if we should go about uploading this or not.

I'd need your ACK/advice + sponsorship on this.

PS: I tried contacting its original Uploader Balasankar C. on IRC, since he's kind of active around a few rooms we have in common but I didn't get a response from them yet.
