My main misery with modules was due to people renaming their GitHub repositories

  Fork them (just make a copy you own) so you have control?

    Usually my problems are with transitive dependencies. I would have to fork quite a few projects to deal with that. I wish there was a more systematic way to do "replace", possibly in libraries as well
    • thiht 5y ago
      There’s a « replace » directive in go.mod.
      • ithkuil 5y ago
        Yeah I know, but it's suboptimal. If you use it your module cannot be "go install" lled, and it doesn't work for libraries
        • acchow 5y ago
          Replace in go.mod breaks `go install`?
          • ithkuil 5y ago
            Oh yeah, this used to work but some go version ago it stopped working. See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/44840 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/44840

              glad other people see that as a problem as well. it irritates me to no end esp considering possible solutions are fairly straight forward but people can't get buyin from the golang team. for the record it stopped working in go 1.15. 1.14 was the last version it worked in.
