I'm somewhat new to go and I've been relying on FreeBSD and Ubuntu
packages for the compiler.
I decided to try building Go from source to get go1.8 and I realized
it is really convenient to simply clone the repo into my
${GOROOT}/src (which is now simply ${HOME}/go), build Go (I did
extract 1.8 binaries to bootstrap my environment), and add
${HOME}/go/bin to my path.
Now I don't have to worry about finding the latest source and I can
even keep up with new developments by pulling new code.
Am I missing anything by not using the packages? Is this idiomatic?
