<@U04S45AHA>: Oh that's in the fetcher? I was going to look at that to figure out local proxying for go artifacts. But wasn't sure where to start for special-casing the dependency URL.s

Well, 1st thing, backing up, is the current go impl assumes and forces 1 local sources root and 1 remote sources root

For no good reason except fits Medium use case

So the idea is that a workaround treats &gt;1 source root as remote

did you miss a close quote on: `bootstrap_buildfiles: ['%(buildroot)/BUILD]`

`Exception message: bad interpolation variable reference "%(buildroot)/BUILD']"`

this is from memory I can be more precise

<@U04S45AHA>: So you're saying it *wouldn't* ideally be in the fetcher, but the "work around" is to make the fetcher just "fetch" locally by copying from the local source root, for the URL that we use to address our own code?

```bootstrap_buildfiles: [
    # This will pick up the whole top level BUILD file family, including BUILD.commons
    '%(buildroot)s/BUILD',
    '%(buildroot)s/science/BUILD',
  ]```

Although I'm not confident in the ideally label
