Hello,
Is there a rational for naming packages "golang-golang-"* ?
I don't know whether it's a good reason, but there's definitely a reason. There are basically two kinds of Go packages with a golang-* prefix in the official (non-AUR) Arch repos: - golang-golang-x-* packages, whose Upstream URL is from the official golang Github [1] - golang-github-* packages, whose Upstream URL come from various Github accounts [1] https://github.com/golang/ So the naming scheme differentiates between official (I assume) and non-official Go packages. This is not for the AUR though, where the naming scheme seems more arbitrary. I hope this helps, Mirkwood
