A couple of extra features for ansible-role-golang

Status

Link go binaries

Since GOPATH and GOROOT are not set by the parent role, it can be handy to create symbolic links for go binaries so you can execute them in any environment.

Below is default directory where the binaries are linked:

go_bin_link_dir: /usr/local/bin

By default, links for go, gofmt and godoc are created, but you can disable it by overriding the go_link_bin variable:

go_bin_link_root: false

If you only want to link some of the root binaries, override the default list:

go_bin_link_root_items:
  - go
  - gofmt
  - godoc

You can also create links for the binaries installed with go_get by adding the link entry, for example:

go_get:
  - name: gopm
    url: github.com/gpmgo/gopm
    link: true
  - name: golint
    url: github.com/golang/lint/golint
    link: true
