I, for one, really like that there's no central repository for go packages. I don't like the idea of a central authority telling me how and what I'm allowed to publish. I like that there's no one between a package I authored and a project using it except git clone (and, evidently, some DNS caching).
I honestly don't see the point of a central package authority in this day and age. The central authority for Go is the entire internet. Isn't that awesome? Godoc.org is pretty good for searching for packages to use. It's not perfect, of course... it won't find things that it hasn't been told about, but that's on the project author to worry about. I'd like to see godoc add some quality metrics and maybe some popularity metrics, so it's easier to figure out what's a good package for X and what other people are using. Obviously, these are very subjective measurements, but having them consolidated in one place could shorten search time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
