Description Andrew G. Morgan 2021-03-27 01:02:52 UTC

It looks like something has changed with GOPATH support. It might be time to migrate to a vendor based module layout in the main build tree... This needs investigating.

Comment 1 Andrew G. Morgan 2021-03-31 14:27:52 UTC

The dev tree builds libcap again. I guess this was a transient breakage. At some point, I should still try to figure out how to use vendoring to build in-tree though.

Indeed, it looks like GOPATH/GO111MODULE will be dropped in go1.17:

This is fixed in libcap-2.51 via this commit:
