Arch Linux User Repository

The upstream project seems to be unmaintained. I suggest using licensee instead.

@gesh: This package is not out of date as it's using the latest release.

Either way, feel free to adopt the package and update to the pre-release if you want.

Needed to add quotes to ldflags as documented in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Go_package_guidelines for this to compile.

Also, package is seriously out of date -- the targeted commit dates to two years prior to the latest release.

A patch fixing these issues:

The build flags could also be passed via GOFLAGS as outlined there, in case you find this clearer.

It turned out that this didn't fit my needs, so I won't be using this package, though.

Thanks for packaging this!

Building in a clean chroot worked, sorry for reporting an issue before tying that.

yochananmarqos: Are you able to provide more information?

• Are you using Arch Linux, and not a derivative like Manjaro?
• Version and package name of go installed

I've tested the package was built in a clean chroot, so it should work everywhere else.
