Has the minimum Go version (intentionally) changed?

[atc0005]

What happened?

Minimum Go version changed from 1.19 to 1.22 via:

• feat(deps): bump github.com/goreleaser/chglog from 0.5.0 to 0.6.0 #813

This was surprising since Go 1.21 was set as the minimum Go version in this commit:

• goreleaser/chglog@60200f1

I would have expected Go 1.21 to be the minimum Go version.

The contributing doc notes that Go 1.19 and newer is supported:

• https://github.com/goreleaser/nfpm/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md

How can we reproduce this?

If you attempt to install nfpm via go install github.com/goreleaser/nfpm/v2/cmd/nfpm@v2.37.0 using Go 1.21 you get this error:

go: github.com/goreleaser/nfpm/v2/cmd/nfpm@v2.37.0: github.com/goreleaser/nfpm/v2@v2.37.0 requires go >= 1.22 (running go 1.21.10; GOTOOLCHAIN=local)

nfpm version

v2.36.1 builds/installs successfully using Go 1.21
v2.37.0 fails to build

Build error:

> `go: github.com/goreleaser/nfpm/v2/cmd/nfpm@v2.37.0: github.com/goreleaser/nfpm/v2@v2.37.0 requires go >= 1.22 (running go 1.21.10; GOTOOLCHAIN=local)`

Additional context

If the minimum Go version change is intentional then the https://github.com/goreleaser/nfpm/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md doc probably needs updating to reflect that, in which case the fix is to update that file instead of reverting the minimum version listed in this project's go.mod file.

On a different note, many thanks for this tool!

it wasn't intentional, no - must have slipped with some dep update... fixing!

thanks for letting me know 💜

[caarlos0]

pushed new tag with the fixes, let me know if it works as expected now.

• min go version is go1.21.
• also updated contributing.md

@caarlos0 That was fast!

nfpm v2.37.1 builds without issue using Go 1.21.

Thank you!
