There's a merged pull request on the void-packages repository srcpkgs/: clean up lots of Go packages https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/28863 Description: Depending on git for building can sometimes happen due to issue #27690, where instead of using the unpacked tarball, Go clones the package's repository itself, since the tarball we provided doesn't contain the go_import_path we pass to it in the command line. Since we should require as few dependencies as possible, and this measure can help catch issues of building the wrong version of a Go package, we remove git from hostmakedepends where possible. I'm still pulling in packages that do this, will take a while.
