In other words, Go 1.17 will ignore `GO111MODULE`. If you have projects that do not build in module-aware mode, now is the time to migrate. If there is a problem preventing you from migrating, please consider filing an [issue](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/new) or an [experience report](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/ExperienceReports).\n\n---\n\n##### This program is designed for . . .\n\nCompressing folder and files to 7z format. Some options are available. The 7za used command store filesystem permissions (such as UNIX owner/group permissions or NTFS ACLs). Not designed for large backup/archival purposes. On Ubuntu, use 'sudo apt-get install p7zip-full' to install required command.\n\n###### What for:\n\nQuick backup of the local repository in case of problem with the new modifications (for example).\n\n---\n\n###### Requirements:\n\n- **p7zip-full** is required to work.\n\n```bash\n$ # On Ubuntu, use: \n$ sudo apt-get install p7zip-full\n```\n\n---\n\n- If you just want **to use it**, simply **download** the **compiled version** ( .deb) under the [Releases](https://github.com/hfmrow/7z-folder/releases) tab.\n\n- Otherwise, if you plan to play inside the source code, see below **How to compile** section.\n\n- All suggestions, contributions and ideas to improve software usability will be greatly appreciated.\n\n**7z-folder** Debian package installation:\n\n\u003e ```bash\n\u003e $ sudo dpkg -i 7z-folder-1.6-amd64.deb\n\u003e ```\n\u003e \n\u003e Uninstall:\n\u003e \n\u003e ```bash\n\u003e $ sudo dpkg -P 7z-folder\n\u003e ```\n\n---\n\n### How it's made\n\n- Programmed with go language: [golang](https://golang.org/doc/)\n- GUI provided by [Gotk3](https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3), GUI library for Go (minimum required gtk3.16).\n- I use home-made software: \"Gotk3ObjHandler\" to embed images/icons, UI-information and manage/generate gtk3 objects code from [glade ui designer](https://glade.gnome.org/). and \"Gotk3ObjTranslate\" to generate the language files and the assignment of a tool-tip on the gtk3 objects (both are not published at the moment, in fact, they need documentations and, I have not had the time to do them).\n\n### Functionalities\n\n- Auto increment filename [00], [01], [02]...\n- Parametrable compression lvl and dictionary size.\n- Append, Upate, New archive options.\n- D\u0026D capable.\n\n### Some pictures\n\n![whole.jpg](assets/readme/main.jpg)\n\n### How to compile\n\n1. Be sure you have [Golang version \u003e= 1.16](https://golang.org/dl/) installed in right way, [Go installation](https://golang.org/doc/install).\n\n2. Getting source from repository:\n   \n   1. **git preferred method (the most close to $GOPATH old usage):**      \n   \n   ```bash\n   $ cd \"your-local-workspace\"\n   $ git clone \"https://github.com/hfmrow/7z-folder\" \"7z-folder\"\n   $ cd 7z-folder\n   $ go build . \u0026\u0026 ./7z-folder\n   ```\n   \n   2. **golang method (this one put retrieved package to  $GOPATH/pkg/pkgName):**    \n   \n   ```bash\n   $ go get -d \"github.com/hfmrow/7z-folder\"\n   $ cd ${GOPATH}/pkg/mod/github.com/hfmrow/7z-folder*\n   $ go build . \u0026\u0026 ./7z-folder\n   ```\n\n##### If you have gomodules enabled, all of the following step will be done automatically you can skip it.\n\n- Install [Go bindings for GTK3](https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3) and follow [Installation instructions](https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3/wiki#installation).\n\n---\n\n### Playing with code\n\n- **Since** [Golang version \u003e= 1.16](https://golang.org/dl/), native `embed` library is used instead of previous one and the following restriction (striked) is out of date. ~~To change gtk3 interface you need to set `devMode` flag at `true`.~~ A home made software, (not published actually) have been used to generate some parts of source code / assets embedding. ~~So, you cannot (at this time) change interface for production mode.~~\n\n- To change language file quickly, you need to use another home made software, (not published actually). You can still do it manually, all data has been stored in a '.json' file in the `assets/lang` directory.\n\n- To Produce a *stand-alone executable*, you must change inside `main.go` file:\n\n```go\n    func main() {\n        devMode = true\n    ...    \n```\n\ninto\n\n```go\n    func main() {\n        devMode = false\n    ...\n```\n\nThis operation indicates that the internal behavior of the software will be modified to adapt to the production environment (display of errors, location of the configuration file, etc.).\n\n## Os information:\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eBuilt using\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n| Name                                                       | Version / Info / Name                               |\n| ---------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |\n| GOLANG                                                     | V1.16.3 -\u003e GO111MODULE=\"on\", GOPROXY=\"auto\"         |\n| DISTRIB                                                    | LinuxMint Xfce                                      |\n| VERSION                                                    | 20.1                                                |\n| CODENAME                                                   | ulyssa                                              |\n| RELEASE                                                    | #56~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 12 21:46:35 UTC 2021 |\n| UBUNTU_CODENAME                                            | focal                                               |\n| KERNEL                                                     | 5.8.0-50-generic                                    |\n| HDWPLATFORM                                                | x86_64                                              |\n| GTK+ 3                                                     | 3.24.20                                             |\n| GLIB 2                                                     | 2.64.6                                              |\n| CAIRO                                                      | 1.16.0                                              |\n| [GtkSourceView](https://github.com/hfmrow/gotk3_gtksource) | 4.6.0                                               |\n| [LiteIDE](https://github.com/visualfc/liteide)             | 37.4 qt5.x                                          |\n| Qt5                                                        | 5.12.8 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu                 |\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n- The compilation have not been tested under Windows or Mac OS.\n\n### You got an issue ?\n\n- Go to this page: [Issues](https://github.com/hfmrow/7z-folder/issues) and start a new problem report.\n- Give the information (as above), concerning your working environment as well as the version of the operating system used.\n- Provide a method to reproduce the problem.\n\n### Used libraries\n\n- [Go bindings for GTK3](https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3)\n- And some personal libraries not yet published.\n\n### Visit\n\n- [GitHub's hfmrow (H.F.M) Repositories](https://github.com/hfmrow?tab=repositories).\n- [Website hfmrow's Linux softwares](https://hfmrow.go.yo.fr/)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhfmrow%2F7z-folder","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhfmrow%2F7z-folder","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhfmrow%2F7z-folder/lists"}
