Hello @Rintokz,

It seems that the golang version is not compatible, you can try to install the latest version from this link https://go.dev/doc/install and re-create the package running "make rpm" again.

Thanks,

Thank you @proura

I installed go 1.17.6 but got the same error. I found the fix along the way learning to install go: 1.17.6. To fix it inside the drlm directory I ran:

go mod init drlm

and then ran 'make rpm' / dnf installed it and it works great.

For completeness I ran the install on another Rocky8 server and it installed correctly with the epel-release go 1.16 version too and the 'go mod init drlm' step.

Downloading the version from this page: https://drlm.org/download/ which gives https://github.com/brainupdaters/drlm/archive/2.4.0.tar.gz fails though (this is a separate issue I guess) saying the directory is not a git repository. But following the instructions here: https://drlm-docs.readthedocs.io/en/develop/Install.html#drlm-installation with the 'git clone' steps worked perfectly on both servers. Thank you for the quick help

Thank you very much @Rintokz,

I have updated the DRLM install documentation of all versions with an specific section for golang. In the next DRLM version we will try to make it automatically with "make deb/rpm".
