Support Go Modules #31
Conversation
|
@simonpasquier (who converted most of the other repos to Go modules): Do you think this makes sense for this repo, too? I guess yes, but I'd better ask you. |
|
WRT version tags: I expect this repo to be graveyarded in the not too far future. Fewer and fewer repositories within the Prometheus ecosystem depend on this one, and once OpenMetrics is finalized, this will be legacy anyway. I don't expect any changes happening in this repo. It will sit around as long as it is needed for backwards compatibility. |

Gentle ping; especially if this is going to be graveyarded soon, it would be nice to add a mod file and tag before then so people who are still using it until they move off can have a proper version to pin to. Thanks. |

@SamWhited sorry for the late review, this PR fell through the cracks... |

Hello,
Please consider supporting Go Modules for tracking the version of the protobuf library used. There are several old issues about users having incorrect versions of the tool or how to handle versioning (eg. #26, #25, #24, #18, #10). A few of them the response was "we need an official solution before we standardize on versioning". Now that Prometheus has started using Modules, minimal support has been backported to all supported versions of Go and one older one, and they will be the default in Go 1.12 (next month sometime), I think that time may have finally come.
Note that I picked Go 1.9 as the minimum supported version because anything older than Go 1.9.7 won't read the
go.modfile anyways, and the generated code appears to build under 1.9.7 just fine. I also pinned to the latest version of the protobuf library which appeared to generate the file correctly, but please let me know if there's a different version you prefer to use and I'll change the dependency.Please consider merging this PR and then making a semver compatible tag that consumers of this library can pin to, eg.
v0.0.3. Thank you for your time and consideration.
