Hi Arnau, I've no experience with Go installations either so maybe someone else add some pointers. I took a look and created a working example easyconfig at https://gist.github.com/ocaisa/1057ca936273db6715768fcb9b4b9191
I would say that creating your own EasyBlock is ultimately the right way to go as there a good few caveats. In terms of reproducibility, I don't think using the -u flag is a good idea: The -u flag instructs get to use the network to update the named packages and their dependencies. By default, get uses the network to check out missing packages but does not use it to look for updates to existing packages. >From what I've read, the GOPATH looks like it needs to be handled the same we >currently handle python extensions with the caveat that it also seems to be >the place where the installation is made: Go searches each directory listed in GOPATH to find source code, but new packages are always downloaded into the first directory in the list. You also probably want to preemptively set your PATH to include %(installdir)s/bin in case it is needed. To do things "properly" we would really need a gopackage.py easyblock , the easyconfig is too hacked and would be tedious to update/maintain.

I've been looking into the EB doc and did not find any GO easyblock (or similar), which means that I'll have to create an easyconfgi with many customizations. So I'd like to ask you for experience and recommendations for does kind of installations. (I'm quite new to go installations). Or even if someone already created some kind of GO easyblock.
