It was Petter that shared a prototype go-build-system. Recently I read it carefully and have a good idea of how to proceed. I plan to finish it eventually but I'm happy to share what I learned with anyone else who is interested in doing the work. > There is 'syncthing' which someone has packaged, maybe you could look at > it and apply something similar. That package is here: https://github.com/lfam/pkgs/blob/master/leo/packages/syncthing.scm It shows a bit about how Go software expects to be built, but not the whole story. It uses the bundled dependencies, so it doesn't illustrate how the dependencies need to be laid out in a filesystem union relative to the Syncthing source code.
