This PR switches the Nomad repository from using govendor to Go modules for managing dependencies. Aspects of the Nomad workflow remain pretty much the same. The usual Makefile targets should continue to work as they always did. The API submodule simply defers to the parent Nomad version on the repository, keeping the semantics of API versioning that currently exists. |

go-homedir
This is a Go library for detecting the user's home directory without the use of cgo, so the library can be used in cross-compilation environments.
Usage is incredibly simple, just call homedir.Dir()
to get the home directory
for a user, and homedir.Expand()
to expand the ~
in a path to the home
directory.
Why not just use os/user
? The built-in os/user
package requires
cgo on Darwin systems. This means that any Go code that uses that package
cannot cross compile. But 99% of the time the use for os/user
is just to
retrieve the home directory, which we can do for the current user without
cgo. This library does that, enabling cross-compilation.
