I installed vim 8 using this ppa

ppa:jonathonf/vim

(seen on http://tipsonubuntu.com/2016/09/13/vim-8-0-released-install-ubuntu-16-04/)

I cloned vim-go according to https://github.com/fatih/vim-go#install (Vim packages, http://vimhelp.appspot.com/repeat.txt.html#packages)

The install simply says: For other plugin managers add the appropriate lines and execute the plugin's install command

I thought Vim 8 packages are all automatic. vim-go commands like :help vim-go or :GoUpdateBinaries do not work.

How to install the package with Vim 8?

Guys, nobody using Vim 8 and the venerable go-vim plugin in Vim 8 as a package? Don't let me down on that!

Nope, I'm on neovim (with plug for the plugins) for a long time now...

I don't think I even needed a plug for the plugins -- I just cp -r ~/.vim ~/.config/nvim and everything worked, including vim-go.

Are you using the vim-8.0 branch? (https://github.com/fatih/vim-go/tree/vim-8.0)

Wasn't, did it, and worked. After manually running

:helpt ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/vim-go/doc/

I now have vim-go help. Thanks!
