advent-2015: add vendor-folder #161
Conversation
| Any package in the `vendor` folder will be found *before* the standard library. | ||
|
|
||
| To enable this in Go 1.5 set the environment variable `GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1`. | ||
| In Go 1.6 this will be on by default without an environment variable. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
From the draft Go 1.6 release notes:
Go 1.6 keeps the vendoring support, no longer considered experimental, and enables it by default. It can be disabled explicitly by setting the GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT environment variable to 0. Go 1.7 will remove support for the environment variable.
It might be more clear to say that in 1.6 it's on by default without a need to set an environment variable. The environment variable won't be gone until 1.7.

@kardianos thanks for the writeup. |

Hi @mattfarina |
|
@kardianos I have some thoughts and I'll get them down over there when I have a moment. For this, I'm attempting to cover for Brian to keep getting these blog posts out and I'd prefer not to mix concerns between this and that. Especially since I, for one, am quite opinionated on lock files. So, any follow-up on have on it i'll post over there. |

@mattfarina RE comment 1 (timeline): I do know the timeline. In this case I preferred to state it more simply. Yes, it is still experimental, but that is more to allow people to turn it off. At this point it is probably going to fly. I didn't want to confuse the issue. RE comment 2 (vendor tree): This is a simple listing of the vendor tree. Yes, I use govendor which places the vendor.json file in the vendor directory at rsc's request, per the vendor spec. Yes, the vendor-spec isn't official. However, it is part of a specific example given; I don't think it will confuse people. Feel free not to post it; it is still a ways out. Someone could fill in for the 28ths. |

@kardianos I was simply suggesting that telling people about the vendor.json file was a point to touch more on govendor than you had in the post. It being there with no discussion can leave people wondering. If you don't want to do that it's fine. |

@mattfarina I've been short on time. but I figured I would get an OK version up first, then reread later and maybe update the PR sometime between now and then. So I might do just that, but kinda depends on time. Thanks. |
