To back this up: * Building the static libraries doesn't really buy anything other than faster build times, and it's not like the Go compiler is really slow. * The static .a files are _very_ specific to Go compiler version -- objects built with Go 1.1.1 will not work with Go 1.1.2. This means that all golang-*-devel packges would need to be rebuilt when Go has even a minor update. * Putting the .a and source files into the system GOROOT means that they're found when _rebuilding_ the same package, and the previous spec file conditional to detect and work around this wasn't working right. * In absence of a strong reason to do things differently, it'd be nice to be consistent with Debian. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
