- over the course of a project history every maintainer needs to update
its dependency packages, the problem essentially with godep is manipulating
GOPATH - this manipulation leads to static objects created at different locations
which end up conflicting with the overall functionality of golang.
This also leads to broken builds. There is no easier way out of this other than
asking developers to do 'godep restore' all the time. Which perhaps as a practice
doesn't sound like a clean solution. On the other hand 'godep restore' has its own
set of problems.
- govendor is a right tool but a stop gap tool until we wait for golangs official
1.5 version which fixes this vendoring issue once and for all.
- govendor provides consistency in terms of how import paths should be handled unlike
manipulation GOPATH.
This has advantages
- no more compiled objects being referenced in GOPATH and build time GOPATH
manging which leads to conflicts.
- proper import paths referencing the exact package a project is dependent on.
govendor is simple and provides the minimal necessary tooling to achieve this.
For now this is the right solution.

Humane Units
Just a few functions for helping humanize times and sizes.
go get it as github.com/dustin/go-humanize, import it as
"github.com/dustin/go-humanize", use it as humanize
See godoc for complete documentation.
Sizes
This lets you take numbers like 82854982 and convert them to useful
strings like, 83MB or 79MiB (whichever you prefer).
Example:
fmt.Printf("That file is %s.", humanize.Bytes(82854982))
Times
This lets you take a time.Time and spit it out in relative terms.
For example, 12 seconds ago or 3 days from now.
Example:
fmt.Printf("This was touched %s", humanize.Time(someTimeInstance))
Thanks to Kyle Lemons for the time implementation from an IRC conversation one day. It's pretty neat.
Ordinals
From a mailing list discussion where a user wanted to be able to label ordinals.
0 -> 0th
1 -> 1st
2 -> 2nd
3 -> 3rd
4 -> 4th
[...]
Example:
fmt.Printf("You're my %s best friend.", humanize.Ordinal(193))
Commas
Want to shove commas into numbers? Be my guest.
0 -> 0
100 -> 100
1000 -> 1,000
1000000000 -> 1,000,000,000
-100000 -> -100,000
Example:
fmt.Printf("You owe $%s.\n", humanize.Comma(6582491))
Ftoa
Nicer float64 formatter that removes trailing zeros.
fmt.Printf("%f", 2.24) // 2.240000
fmt.Printf("%s", humanize.Ftoa(2.24)) // 2.24
fmt.Printf("%f", 2.0) // 2.000000
fmt.Printf("%s", humanize.Ftoa(2.0)) // 2
SI notation
Format numbers with SI notation.
Example:
humanize.SI(0.00000000223, "M") // 2.23nM
