Go usually statically links everything at compile time and bundles the sources with modules. It is not really static linking, it is more like the "libraries" being source files instead of compiled code. > So from a yocto point of view you only need to create one recipe with everything inside. Fetching from 100 different git repositories would be plenty of work to setup and to maintain, no matter how many recipes you use. Certainly not impossible, but I wouldn't call this neat. >... > Pascal >... cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out of the darkness.
