[package request] browsh

[dtzWill]

Issue description

browsh isn't yet available in Nixpkgs, which is a bummer since I wanted to check it out :).

Technical details

We'll probably need to go the "source" route (preferable anyway) since the "static binary" immediately starts looking for a dynamic linker/loader, here's a quick strace:

26577 09:29:20 execve("./browsh_1.2.3_linux_amd64", ["./browsh_1.2.3_linux_amd64"], 0x7ffde0240890 /* 70 vars */) = 0

26577 09:29:20 readlink("/proc/self/exe", "/home/will/nixpkgs/tmp/browsh/br"..., 4096) = 54
26577 09:29:20 mmap(0x400000, 6557696, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x400000

26577 09:29:20 open("/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
26577 09:29:20 exit(127)                = ?
26577 09:29:20 +++ exited with 127 +++

Suggesting it's an unpacker of dynamically linked executables or something? Haven't investigated beyond the above :). Source looks like it's someone else's cup-of-tea :3.

Bump!

I want to push this request!

[mrkgnao]

er, re-bump? I'm interested in this too, would do it myself but I'm no patching ninja :)

You can probably use buildGoPackage to build this as a derivation, you do not need to use the binary release. See the package being built in AUR as an example of how to build it.

I can probably package it up this weekend if no one has already done that.

[mrkgnao]

I'd love that, largely because I can't find any docs on buildGoPackage anywhere

[kalbasit]

@mrkgnao sure I'll work on it today.

@mrkgnao @dtzWill @matthiasbeyer please try #44251 and let me know if it works for you.
