[arch-general] What's the best way of packaging golang packages?

[Pierre Neidhardt]

Sources have to be fetched online at some point anyways. If Internet goes out
after you've fetched the sources, then you can still build the packages.

Regarding user packages: it is not a good idea to use them in PKGBUILDs for
several reasons, first one being that the user is free to change the source code
of Go package locally (change branch, change code). The PKGBUILD must be
reproduicible, so it's better to start afresh.
