examples submodule #173

Closed CrimsonVoid closed 3 years ago

CrimsonVoid commented 3 years ago

Make examples and examples_security submodules, removing the only external dependency. I wasn't sure about moving examples_security to examples/security, but I can update the PR if you think that would make more sense.

This PR depends on an unreleased version zmq4 1.3.0

Unfortunately it seems the best way to convert a subpackage into a module is to depend on a future version where that subpackage doesn't exist; the naïve solution leads to build failures. You can add replace github.com/pebbe/zmq4 v1.3.0 => ../ to go.mod if you want to test the changes.

See https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#is-it-possible-to-add-a-module-to-a-multi-module-repository

Thank for this. I looked at what you did, and decided to do it a little differently.

The directory examples_security doesn't need its own go.mod because it doesn't have external dependencies. It can use the go.mod in the parent direcory.

For examples/go.mod I used a replace, so as to not depend on a particular release. This means you can't do a go get github.com/pebbe/zmq4/examples/... but you couldn't do that anyway, because there are sources for different programs in the same directory. To make this possible, I would need to move each program to its own subdirectory, but I don't think you would want to run go get or go install on all examples anyway, because you would end up with 81 programs in your general bin directory.

ty, I'll go ahead and close this.

Also, you might want to look into replacing github.com/pborman/uuid with github.com/google/uuid since it's just a thin wrapper around google's library. It's not a drop-in replacement, but the few errors I got when building examples had pretty simple fixes.
