--- Comment #3 from Athos Ribeiro <[email protected]> --- What if some project decides to import "github.com/neurosnap/sentences" ? Note that upstream does so, here [1] and here [2]. So I see 3 possible options: a) packaging this under both namespaces b) package only one of the namespaces and patch the source code and dependencies to stick to only one namespace (a) seems to be a good option at first, but then if we pay closer attention to the namespace in 'gopkg.in/neurosnap/sentences.v1', it carries the package major version with it. So whenever they decide to bump the major version, we would need to package it again and retire the old namespace. I believe this is not a good approach for software distribution. That's why I opted to go with (b). If you prefer, we could go with (a), but packaging only gopkg.in/neurosnap/sentences.v1 is not possible because upstream itself would not build without the github package. A third option (c) would be to send a patch upstream to make [1] and [2] import gopkg.in/neurosnap/sentences.v1 But then this would still be a problem if some other project we want to package ever decides to import the github path for some reason (I do not have a solution for this).
