I'm somewhat new to go and I've been relying on FreeBSD and Ubuntu packages for the compiler.
I decided to try building Go from source to get go1.8 and I realized it is really convenient to simply clone the repo into my ${GOROOT}/src (which is now simply ${HOME}/go), build Go (I did extract 1.8 binaries to bootstrap my environment), and add ${HOME}/go/bin to my path. Now I don't have to worry about finding the latest source and I can even keep up with new developments by pulling new code. Am I missing anything by not using the packages? Is this idiomatic? -ayan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
