golang-github-minishift-minishift - Fedora packages github.com/cheggaaa/pb but minishift requires gopkg.in/cheggaaa/pb.v1

[marcindulak]

The release of cheggaaa/pb required by minishift is https://github.com/cheggaaa/pb/releases/tag/v1.0.7 (see https://github.com/minishift/minishift/blob/a0a53180478ec02b3b4811560f2fc0168c298298/glide.lock)

while Fedora 25 currently provides:

dnf provides "golang(github.com/cheggaaa/pb)"
#golang-github-cheggaaa-pb-devel-0-0.3.gitda1f27a.fc25.noarch : Console progress bar for Golang

    /usr/lib/golang/src/gopkg.in/cheggaaa/pb.v1 (from $GOROOT)

    /usr/share/gocode/src/gopkg.in/cheggaaa/pb.v1

Suggested solution requires either:

1A. use github.com/cheggaaa/pb instead of gopkg.in/cheggaaa/pb.v1 in minishift 1B. update golang-github-cheggaaa-pb in Fedora/EPEL7 to version at least 1.0.7 (preferably the latest available)

or:

2A. package gopkg.in/cheggaaa/pb.v1 in Fedora in addition to github.com/cheggaaa/pb

golang-github-cheggaaa-pb should be extended with the new import path prefix instead of creating a new package.

[marcindulak]

You mean something like providing the link gopkg.in/cheggaaa/pb.v1 to github.com/cheggaaa/pb under /usr/share/gocode/src/?

rpm -qf /usr/share/gocode/src/gopkg.in
file /usr/share/gocode/src/gopkg.in is not owned by any package

What will happen when gopkg.in/cheggaaa/pb.v2 is released, and we still want to keep gopkg.in/cheggaaa/pb.v1?

You can check spec file at [1] to see how it handles both v1 and v2 versions.
