Build fails with:

==> Starting pkgver()... jq: error: Could not open file package.json: No such file or directory ==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to be empty. ==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version: Error making: go-ipfs-git

Replacing pkgver() function with the suggestion from @redfish works like a charm.

There isn't a need to parse the version from the source files, because the releases are tagged, so best to go with the standard format (0.4.21.r54.gc7dc3c33e):

pkgver() {
  cd "$srcdir/$_pkgname"
  git describe --long --tags |  sed -e 's/^v//' -e 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
}

jq version acquisition is failing since go-ipfs now stores the version in version.go.

The LICENSE file has also been split into LICENSE-MIT and LICENSE-APACHE.

Here is a fix that worked for me

2.8.2

The problem is not the go version. I restored a go 1.5.3 package from my backups, installed it and tried building. Same error.

redfish queried the ipfs main author on irc and go 1.6.2 should work.

Also getting

make[1]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add '+' to parent make rule.
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/makepkg/go-ipfs-git/src/go-ipfs/cmd/ipfs'
go install -ldflags="-X "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/repo/config".CurrentCommit=d597f4b"
go install: no install location for directory /tmp/makepkg/go-ipfs-git/src/go-ipfs/cmd/ipfs outside GOPATH

It used to work. Ideas anyone?

When building this package, I get this error:

go install -ldflags="-X "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/repo/config".CurrentCommit=fed6212"
go install: no install location for directory /home/mythmon/src/pkgbuild/go-ipfs-git/src/go-ipfs/cmd/ipfs outside GOPATH

PSA: New released version is not a reason to flag a -git package as out-of-date. If you install the -git package, its pkgver() function will automatically pull the version from Git. It should only get flagged out of date if it no longer builds or its dependencies have been outdated.
