FEATURE REQUEST

What happened:

In vendor.json, there are these libraries which are not supported upstream:

• "path": "go.pedge.io/env"
• "path": "go.pedge.io/lion"
• "path": "go.pedge.io/lion/current"
• "path": "go.pedge.io/lion/env"
• "path": "go.pedge.io/lion/grpc"
• "path": "go.pedge.io/lion/syslog"
• "path": "go.pedge.io/pb/go/google/protobuf"
• "path": "go.pedge.io/pkg/cobra"
• "path": "go.pedge.io/proto/time"

If you try to rebuild the vendor tree with these libraries, it will fail, because go.pedge.io does not resolve in DNS.

There are three recommendations as to how to move forward:

OPTION 1

Leave these libraries in vendor/ and do not rebuild the vendor tree

OPTION 2

Copy these libraries to an internal/old package and rewrite the imports within each one to be within for example github.com/libopenstorage/openstorage/internal/old/

OPTION 3

Get off these libraries, since they are not maintained.

• env can be replaced by spf13/viper
• lion can be replaced with go.uber.org/zap
• proto/time, pb/google/protobuf are just simple helpers. libopenstorage may have replacements already
• pkg/cobra is just simple helpers
