Redefine snappy import path
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Until now we've been importing snappy using code.google.com/p/snappy-go/snappy but recently this has caused this issue:
package code.google.com/p/snappy-go/snappy: unable to detect version control system for code.google.com/ path
By changing the import to github.com/golang/snappy/snappy, we seem to have resolved the issue.
Is this the recommended way to reference this library?
The readme stays the import path is github.com/google/go-snappy/snappy, but when one goes to github.com/google/go-snappy, that redirects to this repo github.com/golang/snappy. Also, godoc.org works for https://godoc.org/github.com/golang/snappy/snappy but not https://godoc.org/github.com/google/go-snappy/snappy.
What is the actual import path of this Go package? If it's not the same as the repo path, it would be helpful to add an import path comment to resolve any doubts and ambiguities.
I just realized no one, aside from @gopherbot, is watching this repo, so that's likely why this issue went unresolved for 7 days. /cc @nigeltao
Yes, the canonical path is now:
github.com/golang/snappy/snappy
Sorry that the github.com/google/go-snappy/snappy path is still around in some places. I was thinking of using gerrit with snappy, but in the end decided that it wasn't worth it. Apparently I've missed updating some of the stale links.
I'm also relatively new to the github workflow, so apologies for the late reply.
