This package is broken with Go modules

[mcandre]

Go modules requires packages beyond release versions 1.x to end Go import paths in slash /v<major> notation. But this package is structured for earlier Go versions using a dot .v<major> notation.

gopkg.in is an exception - packages there can use paths like gopkg.in/yaml.v3 instead of /. It's mentioned in this blog post.

What command are you seeing fail?

Update:

I suspect a local proxy configuration issue may be impacting this behavior on my machine. I'll get back to you.

I'm finding it currently impossible to add a replace in go.mod to use an alternative location (such as internal mirror) - go mod download and godoc fail with: gopkg.in/yaml.v2 => git.xzcompany.com/gitmirror/go-yaml--yaml v2.2.2+incompatible fails with invalid version: +incompatible suffix not allowed: major version v0 is compatible. However, removing +incompatible makes things even worse - now go install fails due to version 2:

version "v2.2.2" invalid: module contains a go.mod file, so major version must be compatible: should be v0 or v1, not v2

😢

FWIW I've been using this with go modules and go 1.13 in a new project in the last weeks and it's working fine .

Issue doesn't seem related to go-yaml itself.
