+Subject: [PATCH] No need to use `-i` in go build (with go 1.10 and above)
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+> The go build command now maintains a cache of recently built
+  packages, separate from the installed packages in $GOROOT/pkg or
+  $GOPATH/pkg. The effect of the cache should be to speed builds that
+  do not explicitly install packages or when switching between
+  different copies of source code (for example, when changing back and
+  forth between different branches in a version control system). The
+  old advice to add the -i flag for speed, as in go build -i or go
+  test -i, is no longer necessary: builds run just as fast without -i.
+
+This should also fix podman builds for NixOS, snap-installed go, …
