This page contains a list of tools for managing Go packages and their dependencies. The tools are divided into categories based on their approach to version management.
-The approach [endorsed by the Go project](http://golang.org/doc/faq#get_version) is "vendoring" (described below) and [godep](https://github.com/tools/godep) is a well-maintained tool for managing vendored dependencies.
+The approach endorsed by the Go project is package copy with import path re-writes.
-## Vendoring
-Vendoring takes the 3rd party source code that is referenced in your project and makes a copy of that code inside a new folder within the project. All the code your project needs is inside the one project repository. Vendoring also provides a performance enhancement on getting the code because only one url call is required.
+## Pkg copy with import path re-write
+Vendoring takes the 3rd party source code that is referenced in your project and makes a copy of that code inside a new folder within the project. It re-writes the import paths so there is a single copy of all packages. Not GOPATH modifications are required.

## Revision Locking
-Revision Locking creates a dependency file that references specific commits in the different version control systems the code is located in. Just like vendoring, the RL tool is used to get, build and install your project. One advantage is that your project repository continues to only contain the specific project code.
+Package source control versions are recorded. Versions are updated into the GOPATH package tree.
+Requires switching GOPATH for every project.
