Even of the 3.0.13-1 version is written out of date, it is possible to install it with yay, and then run the command : sudo exercism upgrade which upgrades exercism to the last version directly (for me to the 3.1.0 version). You can test your version of exercism with exercism version

Seems like the completion scripts are being put into wrong place. I figured this the hard way of deciding to write one and only after some initial attempts realising I may want to look up if there're any open issues or PRs, after which I found out there's an official script shipped, and from there that it's being packaged and even present on my system, just not kicking in. Possibly check where exercism-bin is putting these as that seems to be where about every other package puts them as well.

Hi there - Would you consider switching the dependency on go-pie to go? You can still build PIE binaries by building exercism using:

  go build \
    -buildmode pie \
    -ldflags "-extldflags $LDFLAGS" \
    -trimpath \
    -o out/exercism \
    exercism/main.go

The first flag is what go-pie does by default. AIUI, according to this task https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/60928, it seems like some TUs want to eliminate go-pie and have go build PIE by default (and instead have a go-nopie package in place for builds incompatible with PIE for some reason).

The other 2 flags are meant to enable reproducible builds, and were referenced from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Go_package_guidelines#Flags_and_build_options. I can confirm by verifying with namcap that the three flags together produce reproducible binary builds.

Here's a patch for an update to 3.0.13.

2.24.0

There is another exercism package on aur, which ships the official binary. Instead this one builds from source.
