I'm using CentOS7; tried downloading the golang 1.5.1 binary and also yum install golang, and run into the same problem installed revel. Go works fine; when I do go version it displays the proper version.
When I type go get -v github.com/revel/revel, a few packages download just fine.... until it gets to fsnotify. Then I get this output:
Fetching https://gopkg.in/fsnotify.v1?go-get=1
Parsing meta tags from https://gopkg.in/fsnotify.v1?go-get=1 (status code 200)
get "gopkg.in/fsnotify.v1": found meta tag main.metaImport{Prefix:"gopkg.in/fsnotify.v1", VCS:"git", RepoRoot:"https://gopkg.in/fsnotify.v1"} at https://gopkg.in/fsnotify.v1?go-get=1
gopkg.in/fsnotify.v1 (download)
And it just freezes. No matter what I try, it doesn't download anything into src/gopkg.in/fsnotify. Files in src/github.com and src/golang.org are pulled just fine. I already made sure I'm able to curl into http://gopkg.in and https://gopkg.in, so it doesn't look like an SSLv3 issue.
Any ideas?
Upgrade Git so that it is greater than 1.7.1 (latest CentOS base version). Try rpmforge first; if that doesn't work, compile from source: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git#Installing-from-Source
I'm on Git 2.6.2 and it's working fine now: go get -v github.com/revel/revel (-v for verbose mode)
