            Bug ID: 1298791
           Summary: Go isn't installed into recommended upstream location
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 23
         Component: golang

Hi,

Description of problem:

Go's download page states:
"The Go binary distributions assume they will be installed in /usr/local/go
[...]"

Currently the golang package installs Go into /usr/bin/.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Name        : golang
Arch        : x86_64
Epoch       : 0
Version     : 1.5.2
Release     : 2.fc23

Additional info:
Being Fedora a distribution that strives to be as close as possible to upstream
I'm curious about the reason on why Go is installed on a different location
from the one upstream expects to be installed.

Cheers.
