They're required to build anything useful with Go; distributing them separately would just cripple the primary package. The Go build system doesn't support building and linking packages (ie. the runtime) as shared libraries yet, and according to Ian a few days ago, it isn't even on the roadmap right now: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/golang-nuts/LGk2Fw1EGY4/1UB88cSJClYJ The statically-linked binaries you called out are actually written in Go, and are not linked against system libraries, but are instead linked against the static libraries above. So in both cases, Go is behaving as designed. :) Remember, this is a complete compiler toolchain, it's not a typical application. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
