I've flagged this editorialized title (Code.google.com was shut down, Go packaging is broken). Apart from being against the rules, it's intentionally misleading. It gives the false impression that Google Code shutting down somehow caused go get functionality to fail in general, which is false.

Go get works as always; of course you can't go get go packages on Google Code, because Google Code doesn't exist anymore! The link just points to a change that fixes some trivial Go test which didn't impact anything else; something that people working on Go have to deal with, not something users of Go have to deal with.

As for the news about Google Code itself, that was announced almost an year ago. The Go project itself migrated to git well before that, and of course, every Go package that's maintained also migrated off Google Code in the meantime. This is (misleading) non-news.




Thanks for your clarifications.
