Invalid Cross-Device Link #33

Closed naftulikay closed 3 years ago

naftulikay commented 3 years ago

I'm on Linux kernel 5.4, running elementary OS 5.0, which is Ubuntu 18.04, amd64 architecture.

When I run the CLI, I get the following error:

$ license -o LICENSE-APACHE apache2
rename /tmp/license-247108171 /home/naftuli/.license: invalid cross-device link

/home/ and /tmp/ live on different filesystems. I assume that this issue is caused by trying to hard-link rather than by trying to create a new file and write data to it.

Thanks for the report.

Could you try the latest version? I believe it shouldn't have this issue. With Go 1.16 or higher, you can install the latest version by running:

go install github.com/nishanths/license/v5@latest

As a side note, I'll update the README with these newer install instructions.

Thanks, that works!
