There are two reasons. First, the implementation of go-build-system is really inefficient for Go 1.11, especially since things compiled with Go 1.11 keep a huge run-time dependency graph: https://bugs.gnu.org/32949 That could probably be fixed based on the info in that thread. Second, there are packages that don't yet support Go 1.9. Syncthing is a case where there are dependencies that need to be updated and tested. --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEsFFZSPHn08G5gDigJkb6MLrKfwgFAlvQeb0ACgkQJkb6MLrK fwhBchAAp+3s741mhlkc/kxY+kxgEhkPjpAh76ANHH8m6/1sANgAF/NWpRdBnW9Z BaH0BXUHYDxtXZgP7I2mx3yhHlau6OIJATdDW651x7uO4mkSzfnZ/WzQLtPNJu2a RvDViNT3gE5Qr/Q6Zz9Wnqe2Iz2Cj3+eYAYxvJsKPd7iCnQGcMkMgjG2X6p9wuSt tAQfl2ROirKg8rz2DxTEzMfj25iIpYaNQFVjWIQsolIOE1M00cnGqMJcce+2h1aN VzV69avG8scTaqT0RbgCFLpL0RkXnIpeLngwSKhr+doT5mD9/cjoumwsFZfhRWDR A+/O2w8KWkzgpU0ty3Bomak6YiCwznni8yOsY77fKEFS6hhN6XBLQtqGFg1bUVCJ yxEdFi7UfZ4nkQDqQUddAqjwhQ4gxszlfa7NzQAA20NcE0BliKsIE8PDinE7fNKk GHdY5FvAmCnW8ARDIr4pY/DPE4VMGxvE+ioQQtgLmgc0bPRyDmTtQvo4Ofe2s9sE HOJN+bbuudIX4Wt1mQZcIGbH4i4l8A0sjlGFTgKnsncKaxzxgOdBLMXHjYxbmK9u QuTo8/pF9TsBqRhvrsIDc1Ct90zBdJ874fXixSjAOjk1Qwk1/iUufo1BlMToCQ0L toMElNJ79vX01pk+mP6wPSl1wFOtWV8X/cQ4mrcXU2+U5qcxf4A= =koke -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1--
