@fd0 when will this PR make it into an official release?

When the next version of restic is released. As this is an open source project we don't have a timeline :)

If you want to use it right now, either compile restic yourself from the master branch (which should be pretty stable) or use one of the beta binaries here: https://beta.restic.net/?sort=time&order=asc

@nixzahlen your comment is unproductive and comes across as passive-aggressive. Don't do that, here or anywhere, but especially not here. It wears me and other contributors down and reduces my motivation a lot. In fact, now I'm thinking about what I should write here instead of working on the code.

I assume you are complaining that my statement ("compiled the code yourself") does not work for you. It looks like you have somehow misconfigured your Go environment: this error occurs if the directory the environment variable GOROOT is explicitly configured (check by running go env GOROOT) references a different installation of Go than the one the go executable you run is from. It has nothing to do with restic, as you can easily find out yourself by searching for the error message. Run set GOROOT= (avoid trailing spaces here) before running go. Or use a pre-compiled binary.

So, next time, please spend five to ten minutes looking for the error message yourself, then create a new issue here. Don't comment on old, closed issues or PRs if you can avoid it.
