Re: Name resolution failures during build

[Stephen Scheck]

Sure - I understand the reasoning - but this is an open-source project with
its own build system that I'm trying to package, and I believe its build
system depends on network access (it's Go-based, and my understanding is
that the Go dependency model relies on access to numerous external Git
repos). Is such a project unsupportable by Guix?
