Arch Linux User Repository

Any chance of getting this package updated? I can help or take over maintenance as well if that's needed.

Here's a patch that updates the package to the latest version and gets it up to par with the go packaging guidelines: https://paste.sr.ht/~jhenson/6cfc51c65ddd28f4379e81b9fee74e6d122379a5

Updated to 0.29.0 (thanks teutat3s for the nudges!)

Shouldn't need mercurial anymore, so that dep has been removed as well.

Diff for update to 0.29.0

@billkaguru the fix turns out to be pretty simple:

^ this issues two commands to go get -- because it's already downloaded all the deps it doesn't have to do any network stuff the second time around.

I also bumped the version to latest (0.26.0)

Cheers!

Fails for me too, virtually the exact same error as @pyriand3r. I wish I knew more about Golang's building process :/

For me too, here's the log output of the fail. Important is, that you do not close the install process but answers the retry with yes to stay in the same process.
Seems to have problems fetching the git submodules on first run:

For reasons I don't understand, this failed the first time but succeeds with another run.
