Linux binary releases?

[davidshepherd7]

Is it possible to make binary release with go?

[robbiev]

There are binary releases for OS X, see the releases tab in GitHub. What platform do you use?

Oh, yeah sorry I meant to say Linux.

If you like I could have a go setting up Travis to build Linux binaries? (I've been messing with it recently and it would be interesting.)

[robbiev]

Sure that would be great! One reason I never did it is that cross compilation was a pain before Go 1.5.

Hey, just to keep you up to date: I started on this but I found that numberwang doesn't work quite how I would like it to on Linux. It copies the results to the clipboard instead of the X11 "primary selection", but unfortunately in most shells the clipboard is difficult to access (and people use the primary selection instead). The use of the clipboard is hard coded in attoto/clipboard so that might be tricky to change.

I'm trying to add a flag to send the output to stdout instead. Then it's a trivial shell alias to put the file list in the selection. It needs some more work though...
