Please bump golang.org/x/sys dependency
clausecker opened this issue · 6 comments
The version of golang.org/x/sys this port transitively depends on is too outdated to support recently added platforms such as riscv64-freebsd. Please bump the dependency to its most recent version to enable a build.
I can update that module directly, but other modules depend on older versions, it is a transitive dependency as you mention. So I'm not sure I can actually fix this issue by just running go get golang.org/x/sys@latest. Let me know if I'm incorrect and there is a way to fix it easily.
Of each module there can only be one copy for each major version. So if you bump golang.org/x/sys in your main module, this will be the version used for all dependencies, even if they request an older version. So yeah, go get golang.org/x/sys@latest should do the trick.
Ah but some of the modules I use require specific commits of golang.org/x/sys, so they won't be overrided by this.
$ go get golang.org/x/sys@latest
go: downloading golang.org/x/sys v0.6.0
go: upgraded golang.org/x/sys v0.5.0 => v0.6.0
$ go mod tidy
$ go mod graph | grep /x/sys

My understanding of this is that I can't remove the dependency on old golang.org/x/sys versions without updating/modifying all these other dependencies also.
These are specific commits, but they work just like normal versions. Once again, it is not required to update these other dependencies. The graph merely says what the minimal version these dependencies request is. For a long time, golang.org/x/sys did not have any tagged versions, so many older dependencies depend on such pseudo versions.
@clausecker I've bumped the dependency. Can you confirm that this works for you and the issue can be closed?
Thanks, this is great!
