The Go language is designed to make iteasy for developers to import otherGo packages and compile everything into a static binaryfor simple distribution. Unfortunately, this complicates things forthose who package Go programs for Linux distributions, such as Fedora,that have guidelines which require dependencies to be packagedseparately.
