Gitea: Installation of tag / version v1.7.0 fails (build from source)

[rain0r]

• Gitea version (or commit ref): v1.7.0
• Git version:
• Operating system: Linux

Description

Installation of tag / version v1.7.0 fails:

$ go version
go version go1.11.4 linux/amd64

$ go get -d -u code.gitea.io/gitea
$ cd $GOPATH/src/code.gitea.io/gitea
$ git checkout v1.7.0
Note: checking out 'v1.7.0'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

HEAD is now at 3fa49f378 1.7.0 changelog (#5802)

You can use which go-bindata to check the existence of the file. It should be built automatically.
Otherwise, you can delete it and run make again.

I think when I grabbed the source the first time I had to go find the replacement repository for go-bindata - https://github.com/go-bindata/go-bindata

Unfortunately I totally forgot about this issue but I think the documentation just needs an update to suggest using that.

Installing go-bindata via (distro) package manager solved the issue.
