[pkg-golang-devel] Bug#890849: golang-1.8-go: Environment not set, go command not found

[Łukasz Stelmach]

Package: golang-1.8-go
Version: 1.8.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After installing golang-1.8-go (via golang-1.8) the go command is not
available.

    $ go
    bash: go: command not found

golang-1.8-go apparently provides neither:

* files in /etc/profile.d
* alternatives
* a wrapper in /usr/bin to check the environment and help user set it up.

Users need to set up their environment (PATH, GOPATH) manually.
Unfortunatelly this isn't well documented either. Neither golang-1.8-doc
nor golang-1.8-go provide a short README file with instructions how to
do it.
