Hello,
it seems that lately there has been more people maintaining Go package in the Fedora. I
would like to propose to join up and form Go SIG so we could better co-ordinate and
collaborate on the packaging issues and general developer experience.
There are few big outstanding issues that needs to be solved that need more than
individual work, most notably the Go packaging guidelines and tooling. I think that should
be one of the first tasks for the SIG.
To introduce myself. I'm for some while golang (co-)maintainer and recently started
co-maintaining origin package. I'm mostly interested in the compiler and developer
experience.
Please reply if you would like to participate.
JC
PS: Also I will be at Flock this year and would like to meet up with anyone interested
there.

+1, I started looking on packaging Go libraries and looking for
recommendations. I saw [1] but as this seems more a draft (so a WIP
document) it would be good if we have specific group to discuss best
practices, package reviews, etc.

In my experience, the tough parts about these dependencies that got
forgot about are:
1) they are only dependencies, nobody uses them for anything else;
2) many of them are not versioned upstream (we just have references to
commits)
3) different applications that depend on them may need different
revisions of them.
while solving 3 is part of our duty as packagers (making sure to port the
dependencies to use the latest versions of their dependencies), 2 seems
to be quite common in the golang community...

In my experience, the tough parts about these dependencies that got
forgot about are:
1) they are only dependencies, nobody uses them for anything else;
Afaik this only reason that we have so many golang-* package they are "only
de-bundled dependencies" for other golang base packages they are not meant to be used
as devel packages(for developing application for Fedora). One solution to this would be
going back to the bundling which is IMHO much worse. For the record not all packages are
debundled, though. Maybe other solution might be if we will be able to drive more people
to do the Go packaging, because I don't believe that packagers with 100s of packages
will baby sit each of them, they will thereat them more as cattle only looking at then
when it is really necessary. Maybe the best solution would be to continue with work that
jchaloup has started making the Go packaging in Fedora mostly automated.
2) many of them are not versioned upstream (we just have references
to
commits)
Afaik also commonly not maintaining API stability...
3) different applications that depend on them may need different
revisions of them.
while solving 3 is part of our duty as packagers (making sure to port the
dependencies to use the latest versions of their dependencies), 2 seems
to be quite common in the golang community...
Hopefully with upstream work on vgo and other dependency managers will be improvement for
this.

Thank you very much for your interest.
I will now create SIG wiki page(and let you know to add yourself there), IRC
channel(#fedora-golang, making it official). I believe we can use
golang(a)lists.fedoraproject.org as the mailing list. And as it has been suggested to the
container SIG I will create Go group at https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/ for more
user faced discussions. Also I have been thinking about having
taiga(https://taiga.fedorainfracloud.org), pagure project or alike for issues, idea and
work tracking, but I would postpone creating and working on it until after we can meet and
discuss it.
With Flock next week, if you will be there please let me know as it would be great to
meet up there.
After the Flock I would like to organize meeting of us all. I'm not sure where
IRC/or some other platform and when. Could you reply to me off the list with days(ideally
between 13-31 of Aug) and time that would best suite you and your preferred way of the
meeting(IRC, hangouts, jitsi,...). I think that it would be best to meet on jitsi or other
video chat/meeting platform.

I'm interested in joining the SIG, and I wouldn't be surprised if
Zygmunt (my partner in maintaining snapd) is interested as well.

Yes, count me in please :-)

Count me in for the SIG too, since I maintain ~40 golang packages.
Are there plans to create a golang-sig group too, so that group can be
granted access to golang src.fd.org repositories (like the one that
exists for ruby, for example)?

I think that we can mature in the first moment the SIG, and in other moment, channels,
groups, and subjects in another moment. An approach about the taiga is about the
development of Tools that contemplate the Golang in Fedora Project?

I think we already have tools for that. What I expect with the SIG is
something that could improve the Go Packaging best practices listed in

Yeah, I believe that is one of the most important tasks, but I envision that SIG will be
place to kind of pool and share our resources/time/experiences and some issue/work(in
addition to the BugZilla and other Fedora standart tools) tacking system could be really
helpful. Place where we could put our ideas and nice to have things that we don't have
time to work on currently, but not only those. It would also make more apparent to the
outside progress of some bigger scope projects like the packaging guidelines.

Random Go question: Will you be working to use the Go plugin system instead of
statically compiling end-user binaries?
It seems against Fedora principals to allow Go into Fedora with the way all Go

I believe that the Go ecosystem is not against the guidelines since like 3y ago(same time
I'm around Go). I plugins IMO doesn't make sense in the Fedora for something like
equivalent to dynamic linking. I'm for like 2y considering dynamic liking, which
unfortunately dosn't make much sense for regular libraries/binaries as most of the
projects do not have stable API, but it might make sense for the stdlib as it is fairly
stable.

I was just thinking about this topic today. As far as I could follow, there is already a
#fedora-golang channel in IRC. But still lacking material on Golang in the SIG (which
contrasts with both the project in Golang that exists in the project Fedora), and related.
Count me in to help with the documentation:
