godoc is deprecated as of #49212

[media-informatics]

I do not think that godoc should be deprecated.
pkgsite seems no replacement for godoc, even if it would work. I do not want a copy of the go.dev Website. I want access to documentation for the stdlib and my own, unpublished packages without leaving my machine
I tried installing pkgsite with go install golang.org/x/pkgsite/cmd/pkgsite@latest
The package simply does not work, though it claims to be installed: it starts with a local copy of the go.dev website, but all search requests result in: a barrage of nested "returning 424 (Failed Dependency)" ending in

This page is not supported for this datasource

. I see no need for a local copy of go.dev and hence pkgsite - the website at go.dev is sufficient. I also think that package has too many dependencies, rendering it very fragile.
