Hello Konrad,

thanks for your reply.

It is interesting that you mention vendoring, because we tried this approach as well. We started to develop a "go-mod-vendor.bbclass", which retrieves the
application source code in "do_fetch_append" and then calls "go mod vendor".

The big problem was, that in that phase there is not yet a go executable available for the recipe, so we downloaded our own go version, which makes this approach a bit ugly.

But there is already a go version installed on the build host, right? In "poky/meta/recipes-devtools/go" I found a "go-native_1.14.bb" recipe.
So can we use this go exectuable somehow by adding a dependency (e.g. DEPENDS="go-native") and then use a path to the go exectuable that is guaranteed to work?

The other alternative (defining a recipe for each dependent go module) sounds really painful. Especially as we have quite a few dependencies, which have dependencies as well.
I see the point, that doing it that way makes it more visible and more Yocto like, but thinking about it gives me headaches already :)

Thanks again.
