gomanager

description

Go Manager is a program that watches your package binaries and if they're not the same version of your installed go version, it rebuilds the packages. By default it is ran every 24 hours. It does not use fnotify or similar. It's a simple tool which checks the current Go version vs the version of the complied binaries.

You MUST be root to run all commands

scenario

You have go projects which you git clone and go build. You can't be arsed to keep the built binaries up to date, manually, every time a new Go version is released. Gomanager does this job for you, periodically.
