The Go programming language
ebe1664d27
This is an API change, but one I have been promising would happen when it was clear what the go command needed. This is basically a complete replacement of what used to be here. build.Tree is gone. build.DirInfo is expanded and now called build.Package. build.FindTree is now build.Import(package, srcDir, build.FindOnly). The returned *Package contains information that FindTree returned, but applicable only to a single package. build.ScanDir is now build.ImportDir. build.FindTree+build.ScanDir is now build.Import. The new Import API allows specifying the source directory, in order to resolve local imports (import "./foo") and also allows scanning of packages outside of $GOPATH. They will come back with less information in the Package, but they will still work. The old go/build API exposed both too much and too little. This API is much closer to what the go command needs, and it works well enough in the other places where it is used. Path is gone, so it can no longer be misused. (Fixes issue 2749.) This CL updates clients of go/build other than the go command. The go command changes are in a separate CL, to be submitted at the same time.

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.
