Dependency management tool is required

This repository describes its dependencies in a Gopkg.toml file as created by the dep tool.

It also uses semantic versioning, and requires its users to use dep-compatible dependency management tools to ensure stability and avoid breaking changes.

The canonical import path is docker.io/go-docker.

Note: you may download it with go get -d docker.io/go-docker, but if you omit -d, you may have compile errors. Hence the dep approach is preferred.

How to use dep in your project

You can use any tool that is compatible, but in the examples below we are using dep.

Adding dependency to vendor/

$ cd $GOPATH/src/myproject
$ dep init 					# only if first time use
$ dep ensure -add docker.io/go-docker@v1    	# to use the latest version of v1.x.y

Updating dependency

$ cd $GOPATH/src/myproject
$ edit Gopkg.toml
$ dep ensure

Migrating from github.com/docker/docker/client

If you were previously depending on github.com/docker/docker/client, you can run the following in bash to start using docker.io/go-docker v1 and benefiting from semantic versioning guarantees.

files=( $(find . -name '*.go' -not -path './vendor/*') )

for rule in \
    's|"github.com/docker/docker/api|"docker.io/go-docker/api|' \
    's|^([[:space:]]+)"github.com/docker/docker/client|\1client "docker.io/go-docker|' \
    's|"github.com/docker/docker/client|"docker.io/go-docker|' \
; do
    sed -i -E "$rule" ${files[*]}
done

Note that if you aliased any import they will be preserved.
