Like many folks, I often embed version information (git hash, build time, etc) into Go binaries with linker flags. Before Go 1.10, this worked:
go build -ldflags="-X github.com/user/top_level_project/vendor/github.com/user/version.Version=some_hash" github.com/user/top_level_project After Go 1.10, I’m having trouble amending this approach in a way that only busts the build cache for the vendored version package. go build -ldflags=all="-X github.com/user/top_level_project/vendor/github.com/user/version.Version=some_hash" github.com/user/top_level_project works, but rebuilds much more than necessary. A variety of alternatives to =all= haven’t worked as I expected. I’ve put together a small reproduction and a script showing the different approaches I’ve tried at github.com/akshayjshah/golink. Any suggestions would be very welcome! Cheers, Akshay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
