rpm-etcd's Issues

Centos 6 support

Could we release a version of etcd for Centos 6, that doesn't rely on systemd?

(Build)Requires doesn't match nmilford/rpm-go, bogus Requires anyway?

The etcd.spec lists:

BuildRequires: golang >= 1.1
Requires:      golang >= 1.1

but the go.spec from rpm-go doesn't provide a golang resource, it provides go. This could be considered a bug in go.spec, that it should Provides: golang. Anyone know what other packagers are doing?

However, the spec as currently written repackages the binary distribution from https://github.com/coreos/etcd/releases/ which has no go-specific dependencies (dynamically linked but only depends on libc and libpthread), so these BuildRequires and Requires lines are not necessary.

I'd do a PR that fixes these up, but I'm interested in knowing what the intent is for how this should work. Would there be an advantage to building etcd from source rather than repackaging the binaries from upstream (I'd almost prefer that from a completeness/pristine-sources standpoint)?
