This must be because you're using a version of Go less than 1.16. Let me see if I can circumvent the usage of the fs package!

Thanks!

I've removed the dependency on the io/fs package, please let me know if this works!

Hm not entirely, looks like a lot of new functionality was added in 1.16 that I'd gladly use instead of copy. Can you switch to Go1.16?

I'll need to find out non-intrusive ways of upgrading to golang 1.16 on:

• fedora 33 x86-64
• debian bullseye
• travis-ci/etc.

Hi! Why was this issue closed? "Don't be a dick"/etc.: https://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/philosophy/putting-cards-on-the-table-2019-2020/putting-cards-on-the-table-2019-2020/benevolent-psychological-warfare.xhtml . The fact is that neither fedora 33 nor debian testing ( https://wiki.debian.org/DebianBullseye ) contain golang1.16, which puts me (and likely many other future users) between a rock and a hard place. Also see: https://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/show.cgi?id=joel-remarkable-customer-service-3 .

Should work for Go1.13 now

@tdewolff : thanks! ♥️
