Go is in the same camp as with other modern languages like Rust. Devendoring libraries is simply (sadly?) too much effort to be reasonably handled by a distribution without spending a *lot* of effort on tooling to deal with it appropriately. It's not a good development but you would be fighting against the ecosystem. Completely kosher in other words :) -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16
