It is, golang has a provision for vendoring libs in vendor/ directory and go compiler will pick these up while building. However, this is usually (very much) discouraged, unless there are genuine reasons to do so, and it is always a better route to package dependencies. > (such as https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/lib/pq - A pure Go postgres driver) This library is packaged in the archive and is present as golang-github-lib-pq-dev package.

You can have a look at cadvisor, libpod, singularity-container and gitaly packages as examples. Best, Nilesh
