Revise GitHub Pages with newer install command #39

Closed Montandalar closed 2 years ago

Montandalar commented 2 years ago

Installed through go install on Debian Bookworm (testing) (go 1.17) and added ~/go/bin to my PATH via .bashrc since this is my first time using the go install system. When I tried to run it I got the following error:

$ license gpl-3.0 -o LICENCE.txt
rename /tmp/license-349994170 /home/[REDACTED]/.license: invalid cross-device link

The directory ~/.license doesn't exist, which seems like it may be an installation problem. If so, I may need a bit of help with installation instructions. If not, my system is partitioned with separate partitions for / and /home, so my guess is this may be the cause of the issue; that or problems with the /tmp filesystem which resides in memory.

Thanks for the report. I believe this was an issue in an older version of the program (the program was renaming files, which didn’t work across partitions). Please see this related issue for a fix: https://github.com/nishanths/license/issues/33.

Thank you, I can confirm that installing with the correct incantation worked for me. What I recommend you do is update the GitHub Pages Site which is where I landed from an internet search and why I got the install command wrong in the first place. That will hopefully prevent anyone else from making the same mistake.

I'd forgotten about the install command on the website. I'll make the change.
