I'm looking at the port for net-mgmt/telegraf to see if we can have it bake in the version number into the binary. Right now when you run "telegraf -version" it just says literally "version". Apparently the right way to set their version is to pass it to the command line like this: go build -ldflags "-X main.version=$DISTVERSION" ... How can I convince the Go ports infrastructure to pass this flag to the right place? I don't see any obvious way in the Uses/go.mk file. Similarly, the databases/influxdb port could use this treatment, so it shows what version it is when you connect to it. Thanks!
