Arch Linux User Repository

I've taken over maintenance of this package, and can verify that the updated PKGBUILD now compiles and successfully creates LXD container images. If there are any issues, feel free to contact me.

$ go get -t -u ./...
go: downloading gopkg.in/yaml.v3 v3.0.0-20210107192922-496545a6307b
go get: github.com/codegangsta/cli@none updating to
        github.com/codegangsta/cli@v1.22.5: parsing go.mod:
        module declares its path as: github.com/urfave/cli
                but was required as: github.com/codegangsta/cli

This is going to be a fun rabbit hole to go down.

EDIT: It was indeed, a fun rabbit hole. Let's not go down there again.

This currently does not build with the following error during prepare(): go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory; see 'go help modules'

The upstream build instructions on Github also fail on my end. This looks to be an issue due to a change in Go (https://github.com/lxc/distrobuilder/issues/360) but I haven't looked into it extensively.

PS: I managed to build on a Debian VM (testing release); the produced artifact works fine on Arch. Use at your own risk: https://paste.c-net.org/ValuePastime

Hi thanks for replying. I have go version go1.12.5 linux/amd64 on my system. I need to update. Maybe this is the push I need ;)

(thanks about the fences never thought of trying that!)

The flag trimpath has been in Go since 1.13. What version of Go is installed on your system?

By the way, code blocks are enclosed with ```. If it’s any consolation, I found this out by accident!

I get this when building this package: $ makepkg -s ... ==> Starting build()... flag provided but not defined: -trimpath usage: go install [-i] [build flags] [packages] Run 'go help install' for details. ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... sorry no idea how to make a code block in a comment here. I did look ;)

Thanks a lot. Builds and I tested building an LXC ubuntu image, which works. :-)

Commenting out pkgver() makes it build..

.. but ends in:

With pacman 5.1.3-1 I get:

==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to contain colons, forward slashes, hyphens or whitespace.
==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version: 570.distrobuilder-1.0

gcc-go provides go, so changing the dependency to go should recognise both gcc-go and go as valid.
