Eugen,
If kitty isn’t using any go 1.20 features, generally you could safely downgrade the go.mod requirement. I’ve had to do this with a package I maintain, changing it back to go 1.19 on 15.0. As for go1.20 itself, I’ve not been able to get that going on 15.0. Generally when someone is building against go for dev, they are using the latest release, but we seem stuck on 1.19 for now (1.20 does build on -current) so long-term I don’t have a solution for that myself. I’ve been doing a “go mod vendor” and tarballing that, uploading to my server and linking the SlackBuild with the project source and my tarball to build so the entire build is “offline” once deps are downloaded. If you’re interested in an example, look up any nwg-* package on sbo. Wish you luck with kitty! — Jay Lanagan > > On Jul 17, 2023 at 4:07 PM, <Eugen Wissner (mailto:be...@caraus.de)> wrote: > > > > I looked into the build script and what is required for the next update and > I think I can manage it. kitty requires Go 1.20, so it would be nice if > google-go-lang could be updated to 1.20.
