Golang Support in Yocto Project
summary
Yocto now analyzes go.mod and produces a working recipe, modules include and license files by using recipe-tool recognizes go.mod and a new go-vendoring class performs vendoring at fetch. The tool resolves import paths to VCS URLs, maps semantic versions to commits, and reproduces vendored sources offline so builds are deterministic (tested on large dependency trees — e.g. hundreds of modules). Limitations: private SSH repos need work, vendored repos in upstream must be removed for generation, and some devtool path issues remain.
