wiki: wrong/outdated instructions on the Ubuntu page #19654
Comments
|
I checked the readme in the repository and didn't find a reference to a ppa. Can you please link to the instructions you are following. |
|
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Ubuntu is one such place referencing the lxd-stable PPA. |
|
Ohh whoops, sorry I'm just exhausted it's not the README it's a wiki page linked to from the wiki. |
|
That page is all sorts of wrong. My vote would be to delete it, but
@bradfitz abhors broken links. I'm not sure what to suggest to fix it.
I recommend using the tarball from https://golang.org/dl as it is extremely
well tested.

@davecheney just delete all its contents instead, and leave a note pointing to /dl? |
|
Ok so for those of us who want to put 1.8 on using package management in Ubuntu, what are the current options then? |
|
Also it's not all wrong, the bottom half is correct and actually rather important info. |
|
No, that's the most incorrect, especially the part about setting GOROOT.

I have to tell you it appears to be working here. What part is incorrect because $ echo $GOROOT These seem ok to me. |

It's outdated advise we're trying hard to erase from the Go community
conciousness.

because
$ go version
go version go1.8 linux/amd64
$ echo $GOROOT
/usr/local/go
These seem ok to me.

Ok, been awhile since I actually installed it for the first time. |

I think this is probably a duplicate of
#18580

Please answer these questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!
What version of Go are you using (
go version)?1.8
What operating system and processor architecture are you using (
go env)?Ubuntu Linux 16.10
What did you do?
Followed the readme
If possible, provide a recipe for reproducing the error.
A complete runnable program is good.
A link on play.golang.org is best.
What did you expect to see?
Golang 1.8 as a package.
What did you see instead?
Your instructions appear to be installing LXD PPA repo and then installing golang 1.6 from the universe repository.
That's just wrong.
The bottom of the page instructions work alright.
But if you have a PPA you should update the instructions and if you don't have a PPA (I couldn't find one), then you should remove those instructions.
Thanks!
