Can you add support for reading dependencies from Gopkg.toml and Gopkg.lock

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Now that golang dep is gaining popularity and use, it would be great if glide was able to parse those files for dependencies the same way it does the other dependency managers.

@dfuentes77 out of curiosity, is there a reason you can't use dep itself? I ask because dep is expected to be the successor to glide. If there is a gap in your needs I'm interested in knowing about it so I can make sure the dep team has it covered.

I'll consider the request.

I actually didn't know how far along it was, and I was waiting on Heroku support for it, which seems to be on its way: heroku/heroku-buildpack-go#196.

Ultimately, I would hope for the entire feature set of Glide :P I'm spoiled from it's magic.

If you ever follow https://github.com/kennethreitz, all the features that he's been adding to pipenv for python is nothing other than astounding, and a another great example.

One limitation of dep that has me looking at glide again is golang/dep#1124; constraints aren't applied transitively, leading to much duplication in the top-level manifest.
