But currently, the mapping from import paths to packages in a single go binary is 1-1. If we would allow you to use relative imports *as well,* that would be lost. Or we would have to force you to do one *or* the other per module. Either way, it seems like a non-trivial and potentially confusing transition. At which point we get back to "your usecase seems fairly special". Not "using internal packages", but the entire "cloning an existing project/skeleton and expect to have that just work as the jumping-off point for a new one". Note that *some* search/replace like stuff is still going to be needed anyway - at the very least, `go.mod` needs to contain a user-chosen module path. That's why I really don't think it's worth changing. Overall, your use-case seems much better addressed by writing a tool that generates your skeleton, replacing paths as needed, instead of expecting `git clone` to serve that purpose. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "golang-nuts" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to golang-nuts+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/golang-nuts/35e46b0e-a730-4b27-9ca0-313ddfccf855n%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/golang-nuts/35e46b0e-a730-4b27-9ca0-313ddfccf855n%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
