Move to Go modules rather than vendored dependencies?

[zmoazeni]

Howdy, if #738 works, I was wondering what the opinions on moving to Go modules were rather than committing the dependencies directly.

I didn't see any existing conversations on this topic.

[zmoazeni]

Oh two other notes. This is somewhat related to #727 and would allow us to be able to develop gh-ost outside the GOPATH

On moving to Go modules: no strong opinions. Since creating orchestrator & gh-ost I've seen so many packaging themes come and go, that I'm glad I didn't commit to any of them previously. I can't say I'm 💯 sure Go modules will be wonderful, but it's the standard now (until the next thing?) so we can try that out.

[zmoazeni]

Right on. Yeah I'm hoping modules are here to stay. I do think what you have currently has worked well. I'll work something up and submit a PR.

[zmoazeni]

Ah this is going to take some work. There's a few dependencies that have changes that aren't upstream.
