Install no longer working on Ubuntu 16.04

Hi,

Commit 5a01c07 seems to introduce a change that depends on Go 1.7, which rules out vanilla Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Is that deliberate? Is hunting down a golang 1.7 PPA the only option now?

thanks,

Cam

Can you share with me the error you are getting?

snoremac commented

Sorry my bad.

Can you give it another try?

Snagged the 16.04 container, apt-get install golang-go git and then your above with success.

Added travis builds for 1.6 and 1.7 which are still failing but suspect that is something in my make file that I need to fix.

So the bad news is that consul requires 1.8 which is required by consul-snapshot and it is the consul pull that is failing.

Honest question though - why is the reason for building instead of using one of the pre built binaries?

snoremac commented

Yeah fair question. We've had some ansible automation that's been installing it this way for a while, that's all.

So I guess we'll change our playbook to use the binary install method.

Thanks.
