- In case of git snapshot, you need to add the commit date to the Release field:

%global commit          82077d593cd599c082317ceb5cfb22ee3fbc75ea
%global shortcommit     %(c=%{commit}; echo ${c:0:7})
%global commitdate      20170915

Name:           golang-%{provider}-%{project}-%{repo}
Version:        0
Release:        1.%{commitdate}git%{shortcommit}%{?dist}

 - Packaging the latest git commit would be nice.

 - Again, why did you comment out all BR and R?

If you're ok with only packaging for F28 and later, you could switch to the new Go packaging like your other package.

Updated spec file to follow new packaging recommendations.
New spec sources and srpm are here: https://pgier.fedorapeople.org/golang/golang-github-mdlayher-netlink/

Koji scratch build here: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=26843056

New Koji scratch build to fix diff between arches: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=26857433

Not ok:

# force these to be installed to avoid diffs between arches
GOSRCPATH=/usr/share/gocode/src/github.com/mdlayher/netlink
install sockopt_linux.go %{buildroot}${GOSRCPATH}/sockopt_linux.go
install sockopt_linux_386.go %{buildroot}${GOSRCPATH}/sockopt_linux_386.go
install sockopt_linux_386.s %{buildroot}${GOSRCPATH}/sockopt_linux_386.s

The package should not be noarch ih this case:

It may be tempting to make the header library package noarch, since the header files themselves are simply text. However, a library should have tests which should be run on all architectures. Also, the install process may modify the installed headers depending on the build architecture. For these reasons, header-only packages must not be marked noarch.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Do_not_use_noarch

 - Release should start at 0.1 for snapshot:

Release: 0.1%{?dist}

   Also fix it in the %changelog entry.

Is there any reasons to disable the checks?

Thanks!  I have made the requested changes, and a new build is here:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=26861566

I had disabled the tests because one of the was failing locally using upstream sources.  I created a patch to skip the failing test and re-enabled the checks in the specfile.

Is it correct to specify the arches using this?
ExclusiveArch: %{go_arches}

I also had to exclude the s390x arch due to failing tests.

Not needed, %gometa already takes care of that.

Report the failing tests upstream. Also per the guidelines, you'll need to create a bugreport for this, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Architecture_Build_Failures

Package approved.

I made the requested changed, reported the failing tests upstream, and was able to fix one of the tests so it no longer needs to be patched out.  Also re-enabled the build (but skipped tests) on s390x.
