[Pkg-golang-devel] Bug#782301: golang: the way golang is packages makes it unusable to build upstream go

[Shawn Landden]

Source: golang
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Recent versions of go require a go compiler. (location specified with $GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP)
I don't believe the debian package can be used for that because the way the files are layed out.

Thanks,

Shawn
