zenhack.net is Gone

[alrs]

The VPS behind zenhack.net is gone, so this project no longer builds with GOPROXY=direct.

I think it makes sense to fork https://github.com/zenhack/go-util to https://github.com/capnproto/zenhack-util, or to merge all of go-util into this project.

I've done this work here:
#547

Alternately, since @lthibault has control of he original repo, I could alternately just change the imports to https://github.com/zenhack/go-util.

zenhack/go-util#8

[lthibault]

I'm generally in favor of moving zenhack.net/go/util into this repo. I'm aiming to review #547 later today.

Do you intend to release a new version soonish? Right now nobody can install this library (without a proxy).

[lthibault]

@arlyon Have you tried go get -u capnproto.org/go/capnp/v3@main? That ought to install the latest commit. Please let me know if this is not a sufficient short-term solution.

To answer your question: the intent is to release a new version as soon as we are able to fix the regressions in the main branch. We are currently dealing with a situation in which one of the maintainers has passed away, so we're having to juggle quite a few things (in addition to our day jobs). If you are able to contribute code, that would definitely be the fastest path forward, and would be more than happy to provide high-touch/hands-on support for that 🙂

I heard about that, and I am sorry to hear that. Please don't take this as a criticism, I was just hoping to get some insight. No promises, but if you happen to have a list of bugs that are considered blockers I will see if I can make time to claim one over the weekend :)

[lthibault]

No worries -- I definitely didn't take it as criticism 😃

Here are what I consider to be the major blockers for cutting a new release. If you have a chance to investigate any of these, it would be an enormous help 🙏

• Null client received in TestPromiseOrdering #543
• pipelined calls sometimes return unimplemented #521
• Failure in TestRecvDisembargo #377
