Correct way to get golang.org/x/tools/go/ast/astut

Question

It seems the repository has moved from golang.org/x/tools/astutil to golang.org/x/tools/go/ast/astutil

I'm trying to build gore but it cannot found the astutil, I have the workaround to get it compiled:

mkdir $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools/go/ast
ln -s $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools/astutil $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools/go/ast

but is this the correct way to fix this?

I've tried to remove the x/tools directory and fetch it again, using this command:

rm -rf $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools 
go get -u -v golang.org/x/tools

but astutil still on the same directory (x/tools/go/astutil) instead of x/tools/go/ast/astutil

I've tried to go get -u -v golang.org/x/tools/go/ast/astutil but it seems not working:

golang.org/x/tools exists but /home/asd/Dropbox/go/src/
golang.org/x/tools/.git does not - stale checkout?

What's the correct way to fix this?

My go version: go version go1.4.1 linux/amd64

I just tried:

C:\Users\VonC\prog\go\src\github.com\golang\lint>go get -t -v ./...
golang.org/x/tools/go/exact
golang.org/x/tools/go/ast/astutil
golang.org/x/tools/go/types
golang.org/x/tools/go/gcimporter
github.com/golang/lint
github.com/golang/lint/golint

That was enough to at least compile all dependent tools including golang.org/x/tools/go/ast/astutil, but not get their sources.

For just astutil, I also tried:

C:\Users\VonC\prog\go>go get golang.org/x/tools/go/ast/astutil

C:\Users\VonC\prog\go>cd src

C:\Users\VonC\prog\go\src>cd golang.org/x/tools/go/ast/astutil

C:\Users\VonC\prog\go\src\golang.org\x\tools\go\ast\astutil>dir

If go get golang.org/x/tools/go/ast/astutil doesn't work, try with a fresh installation of Go 1.4.2, in a separate and clean Go workspace (meaning a different GOROOT for referencing a new installation, and a different GOPATH, for referencing an empty and fresh workspace)

Solution for my problem:

cd $GOPATH/src/code.google.com/p/
rm -rf go.*

cd $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/
rm -rf *

go get -u -v golang.org/x/tools
go get -u -v golang.org/x/crypto
go get -u -v golang.org/x/image
go get -u -v golang.org/x/mobile
go get -u -v golang.org/x/net
go get -u -v golang.org/x/sys
go get -u -v golang.org/x/text

Probably my fault is I go get from code.google.com/p instead of golang.org/x?
