But fedora for example is stuck on 1.6 until fedora 25 is released, its a simular situation to elasticsearch, distro version is old, and has severe limitations, nobody in thier right mind would install from there. Far far safer to use the official version fom the elastic.co site. The same is true for mongodb.
Developers may like to have the option to track current.

Any other packages in any other repository would be unofficial! Given this is the case what is the benefit of another repository? Wouldn't this just lead to replication of effort or decay of the official packages. Many people running servers will only use the official repositories, so an extra repository would not be used. Having Go packages in the official repository is good for Go. -- Russel. ============================================================ ================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
