The Go programming language

CL 4873048 introduced the ability to build without hg and getting an "unknown" version. While this approach works to avoid the hg dependency, it also means that every exported tree that is built without hg or .hg will have not only missing information, but will also be compatible to one another. Considering that it is a common practice to remove the VCS data in distributions, I suggest we don't take this approach to avoid its consequences. This CL fixes the same problem in a different way: if a VERSION file at the top of the tree exists, use it at all times. If it doesn't, fall back to using information from hg necessarily, and fail if that's not possible. The error message when VERSION and hg are not available instructs users to handle it properly. The VERSION file can be generated with "src/version.bash -save" while hg is still around. R=golang-dev, rsc, gustavo CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/4897043 |

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language. For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser. After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060 and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install.html. Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file. -- Binary Distribution Notes If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path. For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile: export GOROOT=$HOME/go export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin See doc/install.html for more details.
