There are a myriad of possibilities that await you on the Archwiki. [1]

Also, you should not be installing third party packages in `GOROOT`. If you do, then yes, you're going to be in some trouble.

That web page summarises how we package golang libraries so far, and it's (a) fragile and (b) doesn't let people install their own development copies of libraries, as I said in the gp post.

Then maintain two different and distinct `GOPATH` directories. One for development libraries and one for other stuff.
