About Go

Go is an expressive, concurrent, garbage collected systems programming language that is type safe and memory safe. It has pointers but no pointer arithmetic. Go has fast builds, clean syntax, garbage collection, methods for any type, and run-time reflection. It feels like a dynamic language but has the speed and safety of a static language.

Recipe

You can use the following spec file template. Make sure to replace $VARIABLES with appropriate values. Please note that Go packages follow a strict naming convention, i.e. 'go-$EXACT_UPSTREAM_NAME'. Furthermore, most Go software currently doesn't follow a strict version scheme. You should use the date when you retrieved the upstream software (e.g. via git/mercurial/etc. checkout) plus the VCS used, like 0.0.0+git20110521. If the upstream maintainers decide to start using a version scheme, this ensures easy package upgrades in the future.
