I'm trying to package sbctl - secureboot manager written in Golang. However,
the repository contains a Makefile to simplify the process which works great
without packaging.
Firstly, I'd like to ask about the opinion on building the programs that use
Makefiles just to invoke the language builder e.g. go, rust... Is it better to
skip Makefile and run the go or cargo build-system instead or just follow the
instructions and invoke the Makefile itself and deal with the underlying build
tools?
Secondly, as I attempt to package it I run into the trouble that go wants to
create a cache outside of the out directory.
Could you please help me with the definition of GOCACHE?
