          At this time, Go libraries packaged in Fedora are primarily
          for the purpose of being BuildRequires for building Fedora
          binary RPMs,

        
        since golang
              is like statically linked and does not prefer .so for
              libraries (so far). I suggest never package BuildRequires
            RPMs for golang (I think of it like .a libraries)
        

        and
            for the offline building of golang binaries like etcd we
            might collect dependencies in a way similar to python wheel
            and include them in the .src.rpm
        

        %build
        tar
            -xzf %SOURCE2 -C golang-path/
        ...
        

    *.src.rpm is reserved for a spec file, sources and patches. It does
    not provide any tarball with source codes. Or am I missing
    something?

    
    Currently, all source codes are shipped in a form of NAME-devel.rpm
    which I see as a libraries whose packages you import in golang
    project (although they are all pure source codes).

            I figured it out. The generated packages are all from
            gofed.

            They all share a lot of generated macros and comments.

            When I was looking to make the specfile, I jumped
            right to the

            section in the wiki with the sample. I missed gofed
            completely.

            I will add a note to the wiki suggesting to try gofed
            repo2spec

            first before trying one of the sample specfiles in the page.
