Go vendoring #133

Open ilovezfs opened 7 years ago

ilovezfs commented 7 years ago

Would you be willing to start using the Go vendor directory or one of the other Go vendor systems so that we can avoid Go resource blocks in the Homebrew formulae for gx and gx-go?

Currently, the gx formula has 35 Go resource blocks, and the gx-go formula has 15. Checking whether there are updates for any of these resources every time gx and gx-go are upgraded is not really sustainable in terms of the maintenance time required.

Thanks!

@ilovezfs Yeah, i was thinking I should lock all the deps for gx down. Somewhat ironically this is exactly what I made the tool for, but using the tool to vendor itself creates a bit of a bootstrapping problem i dont want to deal with right now.

bootstrapping problem

For bootstrapping we could just download it from dist.ipfs.io as we do for e.g. go-ipfs

ilovezfs commented 7 years ago

I suggest using dep ensure (https://github.com/golang/dep) or glide install (https://github.com/Masterminds/glide).

Any updates here? We're now formally deprecating go_resource blocks in Homebrew formulae. https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/3401 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/21801

@ilovezfs sorry, no update yet. I'm not against using something like dep ensure here but havent had the time to act on it.

Does homebrew always do source builds? Would it be okay to just download the binaries from https://dist.ipfs.io/#gx ?

@whyrusleeping No, homebrew almost always (except for head/devel versio) uses "bottles", which are precompiled versions.
