Without any packaging experience, the tar.gz file is not the source, it is
a compiled version of the software. So iʼd say you should go the hard route
and do the compilation in RPM time.
However, as far as my Golang-fu goes, you will have a bunch of build
dependencies, but probably zero runtime deps (which is great in one way,
but i personally find a semi-bad idea).
Best,

I'd like to package a Go application [1] that provides a tarball

stable release. That's great, but it seems that I have two options:
1. Use the tarball as a source in the spec file, the proceed as usual. The
Makefile included with this tarball will handle all the Go dependencies.
2. Treat this as a Go application, avoid the tarball and have the spec
file define all the BuildRequires.
Thoughts? I've been packaging for ages but this will be my first Golang
package. One way seems easier but might not be the best way. Cheers.
