noborus / ovcs Goto Github PK

[ Ref.: d206d65 ]

Cloning the git repo and running make build compiles without any errors and produces a seemingly normal executable. However, ovcs server just exits. No reason is given, and the exit code is 0. When run with --debug the exit code is 1, but no messages are seen at all.

On the very first run, a very short “blink” can be seen in the terminal emulator, as if some initialization occurs (but this is just guessing).

The binary can show a help page, produce shell completions, and stuff, but the server command fails.

Updating github.com/noborus/ov to v0.33.3 in go.mod produces a similar result (different binary, identical behaviour).

The source of the v0.15.0 release also builds cleanly (I cannt say make build as it is no longer run in a git repo, but I can run the same command where I fill in the Version and Revision manually) — and ovcs server runs as expected.

The pre-compiled v0.15.0 release binary also runs as expected.

ov version 0.33.3 rev:8c70587 (and I believe also some earlier versions) is now looking for its configuration file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ov/config.yaml. However, ovcs is still expecting it to be in a previously used location: $HOME/.ov.yaml

This is just an informational message that can be closed at your descretion — no action is necessary.

ArchLinux users can now install ovcs directly from AUR: ovcs-git

• https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ovcs-git

It will compile a binary from the latest git commit and install it along with the README, LICENSE, and shell completions.

[The binary will not currently be able to serve, due to #44, but I assume that will be solved at some point.]
