Unable to install go-capnp

[homier]

Hi everyone,

Installing the project via go install results in the following error:

go install capnproto.org/go/capnp/v3/capnpc-go@latest
go: downloading zenhack.net/go/util v0.0.0-20230414204917-531d38494cf5
.go/pkg/mod/capnproto.org/go/capnp/v3@v3.0.0-alpha.30/answer.go:10:2: unrecognized import path "zenhack.net/go/util": https fetch: Get "https://zenhack.net/go/util?go-get=1": dial tcp 45.130.21.147:443: i/o timeout

I've been getting this error for 2 days in a row, so clearly the dependency is broken.

Although I understand that I can use cache proxy to prevent this, it's quite annoying to have broken dependencies.

@homier Yes, we've had a core dev pass away unexpectedly and his domain has since expired. I don't have any dev cycles available right now, but the fix should be a pretty straightforward matter of adding the dependencies under the zenhack.net domain to the present repo as subpackages. Would you be willing to submit a PR?

@lthibault I'm really sorry for your loss.

I've found this pull request #547 was merged into the main branch a few months ago. Will you be able to submit a new release that includes this fix?

Thanks :)

P.S. What's the status of the library in general? I'd really like to use capnp in my project, though I'm not really sure, whether there are any plans to continue developing and support the project.

Multiple projects use go-capnp as a core dependency, it will be a bit slow development-wise for a bit but is safe to use knowing it will be supported in the future. capnproto as a whole is now a critical part of Cloudflare's infrastructure and will be well-supported and maintained for an extremely long time.

@ocdtrekkie thanks for the reply! That brings a lot of hope :)

I guess the issue should be open until a new release is published, so I won't close it for now.

P.S. Sorry for the late answer
