Currently we have 3 go modules:
- github.com/ovirt/go-ovirt https://github.com/oVirt/go-ovirt/ seems that this repo generated by https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk-go
- github.com/ovirt/go-ovirt-client https://github.com/oVirt/go-ovirt-client
- github.com/ovirt/go-ovirt-client-log https://github.com/oVirt/go-ovirt-client-log
These modules share the issue of depending on the hosting service and the repo the code is located.
I started to work on the imageio go module here: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/c/ovirt-imageio/+/117277
And I'm trying to avoid the issues above by naming the module:
ovirt.org/imageio
The module name does not depend on the hosting service, or on the actual repo or the location in the repo.
To make this work, the web server at ovirt.org should serve this resource:
returning an HTML document that contains a magic <meta> tag in the page header
<meta name="go-import" content="ovirt.org/imageio git https://github.com/ovirt/ovirt-imageio/imageio-go"/>
Is this possible with our current infrastructure?
If that's all you want, I guess you should simply open an infra ticket, no?
I want to discuss the issue and possible solutions
Should we rename all the go modules to fit this scheme?
Perhaps do something slightly different: Use a subdir, or a subdomain, such as go.ovirt.org/imageio or ovirt.org/go/imageio, and ask for this place to be managed using a git repo somewhere (in gerrit or elsewhere), so that when you merge there stuff, something updates the namespace automatically. This way you do not need to ping infra per each project.
This is nicer since using "ovirt.org/name" for a go module prevents using this name for something else. But hopefully we can do this using the current ovirt site infrastructure, for example adding a wiki page with a special metadata key, or syntax that will generate the <meta> tag like: --- title: oVirt ... Go module meta: name=... content=... --- Page text... This way the same page can also contain useful content about the resource. Nir
