Rearrange directory structure to use /vendor folder?

[nathany]

I'm curious what the plan is in light of this proposal to add a -vendor flag to the go tool?

The very rough plan is to change godep to use the new /vendor/ directory layout, possibly guarded by a command line flag. Then if the go tool -vendor flag is successful, godep will use that layout by default and remove import path rewriting (the -r flag) entirely.

Do you think it makes sense to keep modifying godep, or perhaps the directory change is a good time to come up with a tool under a new name (possibly using a lot of the same code)?

I'm going to help update godep to support the new format, but I won't have the time it would take to devote to a whole new tool.

However, that certainly shouldn't stop anyone else if they want to try that route. Godep is open source, so if its code would help they are welcome to use it!

@nathany What would be the purpose of "coming up with a tool under a new name"?

[nathany]

@ngrilly It just seems a little awkward to support multiple ways of doing it from a single tool, as a user.

But eventually godep will get there (once -r is gone and only one directory structure is supported, at least for new projects).

See #240. I'm going to close this and urge anyone with input to discuss there. Thanks!

d to r/c/Godeps/_workspace/src/d and copy r/p to r/c/Godeps/_workspace/src/r/p. Change any import statement in r/c and the tree rooted at r/c from "d" to “r/c/Godeps/_workspace/src/d” and from “r/p” to “r/c/Godeps/_workspace/src/r/p”. Note that import statements in r/p remain unchanged.
