Vendoring

The Go code in this repo depends on a number of Go libraries. These are vendored in to the src/cmd/linuxkit/vendor directory using go modules

Updating dependencies

Go modules should install any required dependencies to go.mod and go.sum when running normal go commands such as go build, go vet, etc. To install specific versions, use go get <dependency>@<reference>.

See the go modules documentation for more information.

LinuxKit vendors all dependencies to make it completely self-contained. Once go.mod is up to date, you must update the dependencies, either using your local go toolchain or in a container.

Updating locally

To vendor all dependencies:

1. cd src/cmd/linuxkit
2. Run go mod vendor

Updating in a container

To update all dependencies:

docker run -it --rm \
-v $(pwd):/go/src/github.com/linuxkit/linuxkit \
-w /go/src/github.com/linuxkit/linuxkit/src/cmd/linuxkit \
--entrypoint=go
linuxkit/go-compile:ceff1817e4c670d253c7bd38da05daecaa513f5f
mod vendor
