Does not work for me, is failing for the longest time :(

@sharethewisdom Any chance you could update the pkgbuild so this works?

I'm also seeing errors during install due to the way the go packages are permissioned.

Example:

rm: cannot remove '~/.cache/paru/clone/pistol-git/src/pkg/mod/github.com/dlclark/regexp2@v1.10.0/regexp_performance_test.go': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove '~/.cache/paru/clone/pistol-git/src/pkg/mod/github.com/dlclark/regexp2@v1.10.0/match.go': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove '~/.cache/paru/clone/pistol-git/src/pkg/mod/github.com/dlclark/regexp2@v1.10.0/replace_test.go': Permission denied

Looks like prepare() block may need update with solution listed here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1847761#p1847761

As the previous comment stated, this package is not installing the binary.

Maybe it needs to be added back into package() like this:

  install -Dm755 "$srcdir/pistol-git/pistol" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/pistol"

I presume it is not intentional that since the last change on 2022-07-10 this package is not installing the pistol executable any more.

fixed

No longer builds. This one works for me:

# Maintainer: Bart De Roy <de dot roy dot bart at gmail dot com>
pkgname=pistol-git
pkgver=0.3.2.r7.g4b834a9
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='General purpose file previewer'

pkgver() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname"
  # cuts off 'v' prefix and uses most recent
  # un-annotated tag reachable from the last commit
  git describe --long --tags | sed 's/^v//;s/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
}

build() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname"
  # -fix flag is a no-op when using modules
  GOPATH="$srcdir" go get -v "$_gourl/cmd/pistol"
  make
  asciidoctor -b manpage -d manpage README.adoc
}

package() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname"
  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
}

I installed it today with paru and the package installed fine.

see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=246720

I'll take a look, it may take a while... go clean -modcache appears to be the way they clean read-only module directories. In build() it should probably also be env CGO_ENABLED=1 GO111MODULE=on GOPATH="$srcdir" go get -v "$_gourl/cmd/pistol".

Build fails due to the attempt to strip src/bin/pistol

...
strip: '/home/user/.cache/yay/pistol-git/src/bin/pistol': No such file
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

There seems to me a permission issue when trying to re-install the package.
