Managing Dependencies

Build Dependencies

The following dependencies must be installed on your system before you can build the installer.

sudo yum install golang-bin gcc-c++

If you need support for libvirt destroy, you should also install libvirt-devel.

We follow a hard flattening approach; i.e. direct and inherited dependencies are installed in the base vendor/.

Dependencies are managed with dep but committed directly to the repository. If you don't have dep, install the latest release from Installation link.

We require atleast following version for dep:

$ dep version
dep:
 version     : v0.5.0
 build date  : 2018-07-26
 git hash    : 224a564
 go version  : go1.10.3

To add a new dependency:

Edit the Gopkg.toml file to add your dependency.
Ensure you add a version field for the tag or the revision field for commit id you want to pin to.
Revendor the dependencies:

dep ensure

For the sake of your fellow reviewers, commit vendored code separately from any other changes.
