[gentoo-dev] golang-build.eclass usage

[William Hubbs]

I broke the thread, because usage should be discussed in a different
thread than working on the eclass itself.

How is it different, does it have its own build system, or do you just
use the go commands to build it?

The updates I'm working on are going to make more of the variables the
eclass uses visible to ebuilds so they can inherit it and override the
phase functions if the packages have their own build systems.
