[go-nuts] Re: Go vendoring question

[Bobby M.]

Speaking as a new Gopher, but I have had lots of experience with software 
dependencies.  A tool like dep would be perfect for this. You could simply 
pin the one dependency until a fix is provided for the error, and for the 
others you can simply keep updating to the latest. 

This may not be the only time this happens and having the tools in place to 
handle it would make it very trivial to fix in the future.

I have been using https://github.com/FiloSottile/gvt for years, it's great, 
simple, you vendor only what you want, so, in this case, that one lib you 
are talking about

you can even leave the imports as they are, but point to your own fork of 
the repo by modifying the manifest file

for example, we run a modified version of mgo (mongo driver) so our 
manifest has

{
"importpath": "gopkg.in/mgo.v2",
"repository": "https://github.com/ascendantcompliance/mgo;,
"vcs": "git",
"revision": "cded8d2220d584e95dd80ddd67934ab9e80e908d",
"branch": "v2",
"notests": true
}




Regards,

Diego
