Basically a solved problem now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18563267.

Have you tried go modules since 1.11? It's significantly simpler now than it was before.

I haven't yet. I hope a good eco-system develops around them. My biggest gripe is that there are just too many approaches in Golang when it comes to the dependency management.

Definitely true, the hands-off approach they took seemed strange to me - as others make that one of the core tenants of the community early on. Since I have been in the ecosystem it's been `go get`, `vendor` directory, the various community ones, and now modules.
