Syncthing-android: F-Droid build fails for 10.4

Created on 29 Jan 2018 · 4Comments · Source: syncthing/syncthing-android

Hi!

F-Droid fails to build the most recent Syncthing version:
https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/com.nutomic.syncthingandroid/lastbuild_4137

Is this an error on F-Droid's side or is there something that needs to be fixed on the Syncthing side?

Thanks!

Seems that version of Go is before time.Until was added, which I suspect is 1.8

time.Until is indeed 1.8 and f-droid runs on debian oldstable (jessie) which only has 1.7. Judging by this f-droid server issue I doubt a switch to debian stable (stretch) will happen any time soon. So it will be necessary to build go from source for f-droid builds. Maybe using the build= metadata parameter, but that's probably a question to ask to the f-droid specialists.

I think we can use the official go 1.8 distribution for now. Downloading and installing it before the build. But it'll be a while before I can setup and test this change.
