* Package name : golang-github-arduino-go-paths-helper Version : 0.0~git20180911.751652d-1 Upstream Author : Arduino * URL : https://github.com/arduino/go-paths-helper * License : GPL-2.0 Programming Lang: Go Description : Library to simplify handling of paths This library aims to simplify handling of the most common operations with paths. Most operations that usually require a bit of convoluted system calls are now simplified, for example to check if a path is a directory: buildPath := "/path/to/somewhere" srcPath := filepath.Join(buildPath, "src") if info, err := os.Stat(srcPath); err == nil && !info.IsDir() { os.MkdirAll(srcPath) } Using this library can be done this way: buildPath := paths.New("/path/to/somewhere") srcPath := buildPath.Join("src") if !srcPath.IsDir() { scrPath.MkdirAll() } The package 'arduino-builder' [1] has been split into several smaller Go libraries like this one (at least two more to come). Even though 'arduino-builder' is maintained by the electronics team, I believe this libraries should be maintained by the Go team. If you agree, then let this mail serve also as a formal request for the Go team to accept this package, and also to accept me in the team. @Geert, I'm CCing you so you are aware of this matter and in case you want to argue against.
