Hummm... it was incorrect of me to say this was true for execution, as all Go executables are statically linked. Therefore they only require the Internet if the application make use of it. Development, and particularly compilation, is a different matter. The introduction of the ability to import from a non-local Git, Mercurial or Bazaar repository embeds the assumption of permanent connectivity of the developer's machine to the Internet. This is not in the Go language specification just now as far as I know, but is an extension in goinstall, which is purported to be becoming part of the Go specification. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@russel.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
