The Go programming language

This CL grew the archive file name length from 16 to 64: changeset: 909:58574851d792 user: Russ Cox <rsc@golang.org> date: Mon Oct 20 13:53:56 2008 -0700 Back then, every x.go file in a package became an x.6 file in the archive. It was important to be able to allow the use of long Go source file names, hence the increase in size. Today, all Go source files compile into a single _go_.6 file regardless of their names, so the archive file name length no longer needs to be long. The longer name causes some problems on Plan 9, where the native archive format is the same but with 16-byte names, so revert back to 16. R=golang-dev, r CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/5333050 |

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.
