A+C: delete AUTHORS and CONTRIBUTORS

In 2009, Google's open-source lawyers asked us to create the AUTHORS
file to define "The Go Authors", and the CONTRIBUTORS file was in
keeping with open source best practices of the time.

Re-reviewing our repos now in 2022, the open-source lawyers are
comfortable with source control history taking the place of the
AUTHORS file, and most open source projects no longer maintain
CONTRIBUTORS files.

To ease maintenance, remove AUTHORS and CONTRIBUTORS from all repos.

For golang/go#53961.

Versioned Go Command (vgo)

This repository holds a standalone implementation of a version-aware go command, allowing users with a Go 1.10 toolchain to use the new Go 1.11 module support.

The code in this repo is auto-generated from and should behave exactly like the Go 1.11 go command, with two changes:

  • It behaves as if the GO111MODULE variable defaults to on.
  • When using a Go 1.10 toolchain, go vet during go test is disabled.

Download/Install

Use go get -u golang.org/x/vgo.

You can also manually git clone the repository to $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/vgo.

Report Issues / Send Patches

See CONTRIBUTING.md.

Please file bugs in the main Go issue tracker, golang.org/issue, and put the prefix x/vgo: in the issue title, or cmd/go: if you have confirmed that the same bug is present in the Go 1.11 module support.

Thank you.
