[ovirt-devel] Re: Publishing oVirt Go modules under ovirt.org namespace

We have several options to solve this: 1. Create new git repo for the Go imageio library 2. Publish the library using "github.com/ovirt/ovirt-imageio/imageio-go" 3. Serve the module from our web server (e.g. resources.ovirt.org) using the go proxy protocol. I don't like option 1 since adding more tiny repos makes it harder to work with the code and test it. We already have too many repos. I don't like option 2 since this import path is horrible, and I don't want to tie the project to github. Option 3 is easy to implement - for every release you create a zip file with the module, and few metadata files, and upload them to a web server pointerd by the "go-import" meta tag. We have the same problem with libnbd Go binding, and option 3 is likely the right solution for it for similar reasons. I want to get your input on this. Nir
