If go101.org will never resolve the custom import path (giving meta information, as indicated at https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Remote_import_paths), then why make this the module path? Because anyone who uses the import path will always have to add a replace. Why not make the module path github.com/... in the first place? The replace directive is an extremely inefficient alternative to custom import meta information. > So my package import path must be locked as "github.com/...." if go101.org > doesn't provide the repository meta? > If this is true, I feel the go 1.11 module feature is not much useful. Your example was almost there; you need a require statement, else when the go tool encounters the go101.org/tinrouter import path it will try to resolve that via custom import path resolution: $ go version go version go1.11.2 linux/amd64 $ cd $(mktemp -d) $ go mod init blah go: creating new go.mod: module blah $ cat <<EOD >main.go package main import ( _ "go101.org/tinyrouter" ) func main() { } EOD $ go mod edit -require=go101.org/tinyrouter@v1.0.0 -replace=go101.org/tinyrouter=github.com/go101/tinyrouter@v1.0.0 $ cat go.mod module blah require go101.org/tinyrouter v1.0.0 replace go101.org/tinyrouter => github.com/go101/tinyrouter v1.0.0 $ go mod tidy go: finding github.com/go101/tinyrouter v1.0.0 go: finding github.com/gorilla/mux v1.6.2 go: finding github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter v0.0.0-20180715161854-348b672cd90d ... $ cat go.mod module blah require ( github.com/davecgh/go-spew v1.1.1 // indirect github.com/dimfeld/httptreemux v5.0.1+incompatible // indirect github.com/gorilla/context v1.1.1 // indirect github.com/pmezard/go-difflib v1.0.0 // indirect github.com/stretchr/testify v1.2.2 // indirect go101.org/tinyrouter v1.0.0 ) replace go101.org/tinyrouter => github.com/go101/tinyrouter v1.0.0 $ go build -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
