Additionally +it has a cgo dependency on Darwin systems. This means that any Go code +that uses that package cannot cross compile. But 99% of the time the +use for `os/user` is just to retrieve the home directory, which we can +do for the current user without cgo. This library does that, enabling +cross-compilation. |
