Comment:
The purpose of the standard filesystem layout is to keep files of the same
type together: executable files go in the bin directory, libraries go in
the lib directory, and so on. Users installing Go (or any other package)
from a package management system like Macports shouldn't have to modify
their environment to find executables, libraries, and so on. With the
notable exception of the apache2 port, all ports in Macports install into
this standard hierarchy, and I see no reason to make an exception for Go
-- in my opinion, the apache2 port should also be fixed to conform to this
standard.
If you would like your Go installation to be in /opt/local/src/go, you can
certainly install Go to that directory yourself and change your
environment accordingly, but I see no reason to change this for everyone
else.
