unable to install: errors with bencode

Open fmarani opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

Just tried to run the go get command and resulted in the following output:

$ go get github.com/mdlayher/goat
package github.com/mdlayher/goat
    imports code.google.com/p/bencode-go: unable to detect version control system for code.google.com/ path

running this on Go 1.3.3 / Ubuntu 15.04

Hi there. It appears that the bencode library I used got moved to GitHub: https://github.com/jackpal/bencode-go.

Unfortunately, I have no plans to continue work on goat. It was my first Go project, and it is full of poor design decisions and bad practices. You're more than welcome to patch the source yourself, though. My apologies for any trouble.

Ok, that's unfortunate... but I understand. No worries! Thanks for the reply
