It would be useful to package ncdns in various distros' package repos.

I've packaged ncdns in Nixpkgs. It's one of the most complicated program I've ever did and it's currently half-broken: you can build it if you already have the go modules, but fetching them no longer works.

There are several reasons:

  1. you need to patch the standard library (x509)
  2. it's a go module but it doesn't have a go.mod
  3. it's not reproducible because of 2
  4. it doesn't build with go >1.17

If you could make the build saner I'm sure more people will package it.

ncdns is not a Go module.
