Cockroach Go

🚫 DEPRECATED! 🚫

Our build system now compiles our C and C++ dependencies outside of cgo. This tap is no longer necessary and no longer yields a speedup over the standard Go toolchain. Please use the upstream Go toolchain instead:

$ brew uninstall cockroachdb/go/go
$ brew untap cockroachdb/go
$ brew install go

---

A Homebrew tap to install Cockroach Labs's patched version of Go. This currently includes the following patch:

• parallelbuilds-go1.8.patch, which enables parallel compilation of cgo. This vastly speeds up a fresh compilation of CockroachDB, which compiles RocksDB via cgo.

This repository may ship additional patches in the future, or it may cease to exist entirely if patches are merged upstream.

Installation

With Homebrew installed, run:

$ brew install cockroachdb/go/go

If you've already installed Go via Homebrew, you'll be prompted to unlink it first. You can do so preemptively with brew unlink go.
