pact-go v2.0.x requires CGO about pact-go HOT 2 CLOSED

Note, I will update the requirements in the docs for this package to note CGO and a C build end. For now, I'll close this off.

from pact-go.

Thanks for the detailed report.

Unfortunately CGO will be required for 2.x.x and beyond as we move to a different (Rust based) shared core, which contains most of the complex functionality that makes Pact work (there were also challenges with the Ruby based core).

You can stick with 1.x.x but it won't receive any major feature updates, and doesn't support things like plugins etc.

We currently take the position that a C development environment is not an undue expectation for a developer tool. For context, all Pact client languages will be moving (or already have moved) to this model.

Apologies for any inconvenience, however I will have to close this for now unless a workable model can be proposed.
