Hi,
I have a large private package that depends on many other private packages
and each smaller package may depends on other private packages. It is a bit
tangled, but working.
For example:
# A,B,C,D are all private packages
module A
using B, C, D
...
end
with
module D
using B, C
...
end
However, I was having trouble ensuring that my team was using the same
versions of all these private packages.
So... I got a bright idea to use Git submodules for module A with B,C,D
being Git submodules.
Now, I changed module A to:
module A
modules = ["B","C","D"]
for mod in modules
include(Pkg.dir("A","src",mod,"src","$mod.jl"))
end
...
end
and I removed modules B,C,D from my package directory.
HOWEVER, module D is still `using B,C`, but I obviously get errors for that
because B & C are no longer in my package directory.
The, in desperation, I started trying things like:
modules = ["B","C"]
for mod in modules
sym = Symbol(mod)
isdefined(sym) || eval(Expr(:using, sym))
end
and various permutations.
REQUIRE would seem like a good thing to try, but according to this
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/julia-users/REQUIRE|sort:date/julia-users/YTz59MAXHvY/cihOYBWJBgAJ>,
REQUIRE doesn't work for packages not in METADATA.
Any ideas? Can I use Git submodules for this and somehow get `using` to
work or punt and stop using `using` in the submodules and just include my
files in each submodule?
Thank you for any help.
