Honest question: Why does vendoring not solve the problem ?

  I bet it works great for Google or anyone else who keeps everything in one big repo and isn't developing open source applications.

    Vendoring works great for us, we keep everything in one big repo and it's open source. The problem is that the current tooling for managing this is horrible.

      What is horrible about managing it? The biggest problem I encountered with vendoring is getting rid of git submodules.
      • Titanous 11y ago
        We currently use godep, and it breaks very easily due to tags and differing architectures and OSes (among other things). In addition to being unreliable, it's pretty slow. I'm not aware of any other tools that do import rewriting+vendoring and work better than godep.
        • nulltype 11y ago
          Oh, do you check in the rewritten packages into git?
          • Titanous 11y ago
            Yeah, that's generally what "vendoring" means.
