go get results in "no such file or directory", sometimes

[Daniel Huckstep]

Just installed the newest weekly. Installing go-gb works fine, but mc.go fails (worked in 02-22).

 

ruby-1.9.3-p0 ~ » go version

go version weekly.2012-03-04 +f4470a54e6db

ruby-1.9.3-p0 ~ » go get github.com/bmizerany/mc.go

stat github.com/bmizerany/mc.go: no such file or directory

ruby-1.9.3-p0 ~ » go get github.com/skelterjohn/go-gb/gb

ruby-1.9.3-p0 ~ » 

Not sure what I'm doing wrong...

go get code.google.com/p/leveldb-go/leveldb works fine too...

Nothing. The problem is that github.com/bmizerany/mc.go is a bad name.
This changed with the introduction of the go command. It means package
authors whose packages end in ".go" will need to change their import
paths. It's unfortunate, but it enables "go build *.go", so the
tradeoff was made.

Blake, stop breaking stuff.

I figured it was something with the period.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Yeah. We did consider your case at the time, but on balance it really
is worth the pain to be able to say "go build foo.go" and get an
executable named "foo". I did this about 100 times yesterday.

Sorry. Hope it's not too much trouble to rename.
