The Go programming language
a6736cae30
Prior to this CL, there were two requirements about the package name main. 1. The package that sits at the root of the import graph (the one where program execution begins) must be named main. 2. No other package in the program can be named main. This CL only removes requirement #2, which can be done without changing any other Go documentation. The new wording and formatting is such that removing requirement #1 can be done by deleting a single line, but making that change is explicitly outside the scope of this CL, because it would require changes to other documentation at the same time.

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.
