https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1426790 Bug ID: 1426790 Summary: Explain how to use the packaged files in Fedora, maybe in a README.Fedora file Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: golang Assignee: vbatts(a)redhat.com Reporter: opensource(a)till.name QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: admiller(a)redhat.com, amurdaca(a)redhat.com, golang-updates(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, jcajka(a)redhat.com, lemenkov(a)gmail.com, renich(a)woralelandia.com, s(a)shk.io, vbatts(a)redhat.com Description of problem: I installed golang and golang-github-kr-pty-devel from Fedora as described in https://developer.fedoraproject.org/tech/languages/go/go-installation.html https://developer.fedoraproject.org/tech/languages/go/go-packages.html but go does not use golang-github-kr-pty-devel without /usr/share/gocode being added to $GOPATH. But if it is there, go complains that it cannot mkdir/write to /usr/share/gocode/pkg. $ export GOPATH=/usr/share/gocode:/home/till/work $ go install till/test/pty go install github.com/kr/pty: mkdir /usr/share/gocode/pkg: permission denied $ export GOPATH=/home/till/work:/usr/share/gocode $ go install till/test/pty go install github.com/kr/pty: mkdir /usr/share/gocode/pkg: permission denied Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): golang-1.6.4-3.fc24 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install golang-github-kr-pty-devel golang 2. mkdir -p $HOME/work/src/till/test/pty export GOPATH=$HOME/work cat > $HOME/work/src/till/test/pty <<EOF package main import ( "github.com/kr/pty" "io" "os" "os/exec" ) func main() { c := exec.Command("grep", "--color=auto", "bar") f, err := pty.Start(c) if err != nil { panic(err) } go func() { f.Write([]byte("foo\n")) f.Write([]byte("bar\n")) f.Write([]byte("baz\n")) f.Write([]byte{4}) // EOT }() io.Copy(os.Stdout, f) } EOF 3. go install till/test/pty Actual results: src/till/test/pty/pty.go:4:5: cannot find package "github.com/kr/pty" in any of: /usr/lib/golang/src/github.com/kr/pty (from $GOROOT) /home/till/work/src/github.com/kr/pty (from $GOPATH) Expected results: It should install pty to $HOME/work/bin Additional info: It works when I do: mkdir -p $HOME/system-golang ln -s /usr/share/gocode/src/ $HOME/system-golang/src export GOPATH=$GOPATH:$HOME/system-golang If this is the recommended way of using Fedora go packages it should be documented. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
