#
# Basic goswitch script to swtich between two gopath roots.
# This script can be useful if you have a basic structure
# and your build scripts don't have knowledge of where
# your golibs are installed.
#
# This script is especially useful if you have a custom
# golang compiler and you need a clean userland install 
# without command path trickery.
#
#
# Requirements:
#
# - mkdir ~/local/lib/golang
# - mkdir ~/local/usr/golang
# - mkdir ~/.go
# - put all the golang versions you want in ~/local/lib/golang
# - modify your shell profile and set:
#   - GOROOT=~/.go/bin
#   - GOPATH=~/.go/workspace
#

# App Vars
# Note: standard installs use /usr/local/go/, however userland is better.
GOROOT=${GOROOT-~/.go/bin}
GOPATH=${GOPATH-~/.go/workspace}

# Directory where all the golang versions reside
GO_LIB_ROOT=~/local/lib/golang
GO_WORKSPACE_ROOT=~/local/usr/golang
