Hi I think it's a time to close it for now.
<https://golang.org/src/cmd/go/pkg.go#L1111> leads to 404 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- to, err := human() open src/cmd/go/pkg.go: file does not exist --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- This just lists internal modules coming with go source, and no go-* packages are used during the build: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- go list -f '{{join .Deps "\n"}}' cmd/go --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The attempt to find out the purpose of 'pkg/' leads me to a deep search kung-fu with a few information in official Documentation. - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47369621/what-is-the-use-of-pkg-directory-in-go - https://go.dev/doc/code#Workspaces I would not treat this statement as something relevant to go@1.19+ (we have 1.21 as a default for build): - https://github.com/golang-standards/project-layout?tab=readme-ov-file#pkg --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Library code that's ok to use by external applications (e.g., /pkg/mypubliclib). Other projects will import these libraries expecting them to work, so think twice before you put something here :-) Note that the internal directory is a better way to ensure your private packages are not importable because it's enforced by Go. The /pkg directory is still a good way to explicitly communicate that the code in that directory is safe for use by others. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I'm not sure that anyone uses Guix in Golang development and dependency management, while go-build-system is heavily tweaked to produce just final output for the user's command binary. I'm also not sure if it's by design or it's a bug, if it's by disign "go env" does not provide any relevant environment variable which may be tweaked like we did for others in go-build-system: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- guix shell -D go -- bash -c 'export t=$(mktemp -d); cd $t && export GOPATH=$(pwd) GOBIN=$(pwd)/bin && go install cmd/go' <...> cmd/go: go install cmd/go: copying /tmp/go-build7392385/b001/exe/a.out: open /gnu/store/ah4ni8qjiffgw2100hl4bqffgydi7jkv-go-1.21.13/lib/go/bin/go: read-only file system --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- But... I can do this, which ignores all the packages availalbe in /gnu/store and just downloads everything from Inherent then builds with success: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- guix shell -D go kubo -- bash -c 'export t=$(mktemp -d); cd $t && export GOPATH=$(pwd) GOBIN=$(pwd)/bin && go install github.com/ipfs/kubo/cmd/ipfs@latest; pwd; ls $t' <...> /tmp/tmp.HB3jKQBvco bin pkg /tmp/tmp.HB3jKQBvco/bin/ipfs --version ipfs version 0.33.0 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- It's a good opportunity for GCD ;-) where we may discus how to tweak go-build-system even more to utilize available go-* packages from the store during development. <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/74736> Based on above the issue is closed. -- Oleg
