What was the output you seem to not get it, i provide the go SOURCE in a repo, who ever wants to use it package will try to compile and now with 1.16 all will fail, without me retrospectively changing them all. i guess i won't do anything, shame, just way too much work, i'll just have to rely on people knowing they need <1.16, (or the parameter) at least this will be so common a problem it will probably be well enough known. things like this, and i do this, if a new package doesn't work first time, i walk away. but then, thinking about it, what happens when you have a project with a mixture of moduled and non-moduled imports, very hard to get working? so if i don't put in the, completely unnecessary, work i may as well just scrap the lot. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
