That documention is incorrect. The language spec assigns no meaning to the import path.
The complier assigns the meaning that a compiled package must exists in a subdirectory with a name that matches the import part, plus .a, in a path provided by the -I flag. The go tool goes further to interpret the contents of the import path as a URL where it will either find a vcs repo or a piece of metadata pointing it to a repo. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
