Last I used it, they only had static compiling, which meant you had to rebuild all the go apps when one shared piece needed updating. That sort of thing is usually distasteful to the distro folks...
Docker does the same thing in a way, and that's gaining a lot of ground these days, so maybe its less of an issue...

I don't think it tries to be "magical", it tries to be developer friendly by default, and lets your VCS handle versioning your dependencies. It just so happens version control systems are great at that. -- Ryan Brown / Software Engineer, Openstack / Red Hat, Inc. __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
