Any go expert willing to help with updating IPFS?

[Konrad Hinsen]

Hi Guix,

the version of IPFS in Guix is 0.8, and in view of the important changes
introduced in 0.10, that's obsolete by now. Which is why I am trying to
update to 0.11.

My current package definition is attached. It fails, but provides no
clear hint (to the Go ignorant that I am) about what is actually going
wrong:

   starting phase `build'
   src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/vendor/github.com/lucas-clemente/quic-go/internal/qerr/error_codes.go:6:2: build constraints exclude all Go files in /tmp/guix-build-go-ipfs-0.11.0.drv-0/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/vendor/github.com/lucas-clemente/quic-go/internal/qtls
   Building 'github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/cmd/ipfs' failed.

The build log then shows the results of `go env`, where nothing looks
suspicious to me. Then another cryptic line:

   command "go" "install" "-v" "-x" "-ldflags=-s -w" "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/cmd/ipfs" failed with status 1

Does anyone have an idea for debugging this issue?

Cheers,
  Konrad.

Well, now it is:

                      (let ((out (assoc-ref outputs "out")))

also mount the world at @code{/ipfs}.")

It's likely that you need to use a newer version of Go.

Thanks, that did it! With go-1.17 it compiles fine.

Cheers,
