      Description

      Currently we edit the variable in the source file using sed in the build.sh script. go allows you to set variables at link time using:

      go build -ldflags "-X {package}.{ConstName}={value}"

      We should adopt this pattern in our build.sh script to prevent changing the source code.

      Blog post describing this process.
