Re: Golang check phase skipping some tests?

[Sharlatan Hellseher <sharlatanus@gmail.com>]

Hi,

There are not too many Golang packages in Guix comparing to other
language spectific modules:

We may enable it globally and rebuild each package and pack and place missing in
native inputs/propagated inputs depending on the purpose.

I would love to investigate the count of packages in  `34
gnu/packages/syncthing.scm:` :-)

Thanks,
Oleg
