[CentOS-devel] Problem installing golang.x86_64 with virt7-docker-common-candidate.

[centos-devel]

First off- Thanks to all for reading and especially to Jan for
responding so helpfully.

So I realised that I could maybe make some progress by telling yum to
ignore go version 1.5 from virt7-testing
and just install the older 1.4 branch from extras.

[root at vm139 admin]# yum --disablerepo base --disablerepo virt7-testing
--skip-broken install golang

Of course that just worked. :-)

Having reread Jans first email again,

and read a bit more about godeps, I thought I would try without it to
see if I could get past that error.

So I just edited the Makefile:
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/release-1.2/examples/https-nginx/Makefile

to remove the call to godeps
from:
godep go run make_secret.go -crt $(CERT) -key $(KEY) > $(SECRET)
to:
go run make_secret.go -crt $(CERT) -key $(KEY) > $(SECRET)

But that just spews errors that go can't find the dependencies it needs.

well, DUH! I suppose those are meant to be listed in the Godeps file
that godeps is complaining that it cannot find.

As I said - this is new to me as I have not (yet) programmed in go.

What do other people think?
Does anyone more knowlegable than me about Kubernetes or Go have any
suggestions?

Perhaps I should submit a bug to github-kubernetes and move on?

Thanks again to all for reading and especially to Jan for responding so
helpfully.

p.s. What I learned:

Using CBS virt7-testing to provide docker and kubernetes

Package: golang-1.5.1-1.el7.x86_64 will not install because it
Requires: golang-src = 1.5.1-1.el7
