A buuunch of stuff

• start using dist.ipfs.io in favor of go-builder
• zip -> tar.gz
• remove non used features (cli tool), simplifies a lot of things
• update documentation

//cc @jbenet

[jbenet]

(discussed in person.) todo:

• create separate module: go-ipfs-dep for project dependencies
• keep go-ipfs module for installing the binary
• still update this module to work with dist.ipfs.io

[jbenet]

@diasdavid what needs to happen here? what's stalled?

[jbenet]

and every version should be released, too. all of these should work:

npm install -g [email protected]
npm install -g [email protected]
npm install -g [email protected]
npm install -g [email protected]
npm install -g [email protected]

remove non used features (cli tool), simplifies a lot of things

why? it is used.

[jbenet]

this doesn't work for windows. go-ipfs uses .zip for windows.

[jbenet]

windows builds exist now.

jbennet: why? it is used.

This PR was made before go-ipfs-dep, it was making npm-go-ipfs the go-ipfs-dep, but then we made it, so not everything makes sense. (date of PR: April 8)

@haadcode is revisiting all of this dependency madness to install go-ipfs in JS land as part of "Improving Init" which evolved to that -- ipfs/js-ipfs#556 --.

[jbenet]

Ok. i'm fixing this. this is breaking people's stuff.

[jbenet]

@diasdavid no, this has nothing to do with all that madness. this just has to do with installing the binary, which was broken and forgotten for no good reason.
