The aur has far too many versions of go (http://golang.org). Many of them are out of date. I went though and tried to find as many as I could. I believe most of these should be deleted.
go-google-mercurial http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31969 I think this one should be deleted. go is in community and this does not have provides/conflicts with that package.
Deleted.
golang http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31912 Very old. I am not even sure if it works. It is also missing provides/conflicts.
Deleted.
go-hg http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33695 Much better! Missing provides but has conflicts. PKGBUILD looks sound.
go-lang-hg http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31913 This one is the best. It does not have any problems. It looks like it is mostly a copy of the one from abs except it fetches the tip instead of release. It also has provides/conflicts.
go-lang-hg has only one flaw, the name. I think it should be named go-hg since it is the hg of a package in community.
If I am wrong on any of this, let me know. I am new to packaging and I have only made three of them. I am still learning :-).

Now for go-hg and go-lang-hg: Christian ask the Maintainer if he will hand the package over to you, or at least improve it accordingly. I'll delete your package in a few days. -- Jabber: atsutane@freethoughts.de Blog: http://atsutane.freethoughts.de/ Key: 295AFBF4 FP: 39F8 80E5 0E49 A4D1 1341 E8F9 39E4 F17F 295A FBF4
