Build failure after gx-go link go-libp2p

[cannium]

Current ipfs master version could not be built after gx-go link go-libp2p, something inconsistent

I think you might have some internal tools to handle it. Please fix.

@cannium if you install the latest gx-go, you can run gx-go link -o go-libp2p. This will override libp2p's deps with the one's specified by go-ipfs.

This should have been the default. Unfortunately, "linked" deps are global. That means that calling gx-go link -o go-libp2p from go-ipfs will also other local packages using go-libp2p to use go-ipfs's dep versions.

I'm guessing the fix is ipfs/kubo#5762. However, I'd like to delay merging that for a bit as it'll make merging some other changes painful.

Yes, I tried that when I saw this issue but it caused even more errors (maybe because of whyrusleeping/gx-go#50), using the PR you're mentioning indeed fixes the problem.

[cannium]

Thank you both for timely response.

Yea sorry folks this is my doing -- had to publish new versions up the chain for a small package update (go-ipfs-delay) but the final set up updates is not merged into go-ipfs master -- and is in the PR referenced above.

apologies for the synchronization challenges.

Hey! Sorry to jump on this issue, but I'm running into similar problems with go-libp2p where the dependencies aren't lining up with what libp2p is expecting. I'm very new to how gx handles dependencies and I was wondering what specifically the workaround here is? Thanks!

@saresend checkout branch gx/update-kque0y of go-ipfs

This has been merged and fixed.
