Help setting version in Arch Linux package

[carlsmedstad]

I'm struggling to have the binary output the correct version for the AUR package.

See the the build function in the PKGBUILD:

build() {
  cd "$_archive"

  export CGO_CPPFLAGS="${CPPFLAGS}"
  export CGO_CFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
  export CGO_CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS}"
  export CGO_LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS}"
  export GOFLAGS="-buildmode=pie -trimpath -ldflags=-linkmode=external -mod=readonly -modcacherw"

  go build -v -o bin ./cmd/task
}

I've tried setting multiple ld flags but I've been unable to get any other output than:

$ go-task --version
Task version: (devel)

For example -X github.com/go-task/task/version=$pkgver which I found here: #1050.

Assistance very much appreciated.

Hi @carlsmedstad,

This is the flag you need to add to go build or go install:

-ldflags="-X github.com/go-task/task/v3/internal/version.version=v9.9.9"

Let me know if that works for you or not.

Works like a charm, thank you @andreynering!
