as set up now, dev-lang/go-9999 ebuild will pull from weekly builds, a system that has been deprecated since March of 2012. As a consequence, it will pull an entirely out-of-date source package, instead of the latest hg 'tip' package. EHG_REPO_URI="https://go.googlecode.com/hg" More information on building go from hg repository: http://golang.org/doc/install/source Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =dev-lang/go-9999 2. go version Actual Results: go reports as a version from March Expected Results: go should report an up-to-date version
I just emerged go-9999, and "go version" reports: go version weekly.2012-03-27 +080799c3785f I confirmed on the #go-nuts irc channel and using hg identify that the hash in this version string represents current tip, so we are in fact pulling from tip.
