location of binary releases about runtime

[casualjim]

this is a supporting library but the the releases etc will still be through go-swagger/go-swagger/releases

I decomposed the github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger repository into several smaller ones so other people could build stuff on top of go-swagger without having to vendog github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger directly.

This repo kind of ties most of the other ones together and is used as runtime for the generated code etc.

The swagger command will still be in the other repo. Maybe for the openapi v3 spec I'll move it to this organisation.

Thanks for the response. I think I understand what you are saying to be answers to QUESTIONS 1 and 2.

If one want to build the system, which repo should be cloned and what command issued from what directory?

[casualjim]

if you want to install HEAD for go-swagger.

go get -u github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger/cmd/swagger

if you want to run tests you can just use go test for the checkout of that repo.

[haroldcarr]

Thanks. I apologize for the continued "dumb" questions (I have never used go the language nor the ecosystem). I get:

package github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger/cmd/swagger: cannot download, $GOPATH not set. For more details see: go help gopath

[casualjim]

ah ok, and you want to use the binaries from master and not the ones from the 0.5 release?

[haroldcarr]

Correct. All I really need is a binary of validation - but whatever path gets me to build a "master" that includes validation is what I am interested in.

[haroldcarr]

Now that I understand the relationship between the go-openapi repo and the go-swagger repo I understand that the instructions in the go-swagger repo (which you pointed out above):

go get -u github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger/cmd/swagger

are what I need, first setting:

export GOPATH=<where ever I want the resulting `bin`, `pkg`, `src` directories created

DONE.

One last QUESTION: How often are the go-swagger and go-openapi repos synced?

[casualjim]

they are synced quite often. I try to update go-swaggers vendor whenever I merge a PR in any of the go-openapi repos

Thanks for your help and the great system!
