docs: introduce stubs for new libvirt Go packages Currently we expose libvirt Go packages at libvirt.org/libvirt-go libvirt.org/libvirt-go-xml These packages have not supported Go modules historically and when we tried to introduce modules, we hit the problem that we're not using semver for versioning. The only way around this is to introduce new packages under a different namespace, that will have the exact same code, but be tagged with a different version numbering scheme. This change proposes: libvirt.org/go/libvirt libvirt.org/go/libvirtxml Note the hyphen is removed so that the import basename matches the Go package name.

===================================================
Obsolete libvirt Go XML parsing API (no Go modules)
===================================================
docs: add pages to support Go module package resolution Currently the libvirt Go modules are accessed by applications using their github repository URLs. This is undesirable as we don't want applications to have a direct dependancy on a specific source repo location. We want to enable applications to use the Go packages via the libvirt.org namespace. When you do "go get libvirt.org/libvirt-go", the Go client will do an HTTPS request to that URL, and parse the HTML content to look for a <meta> tag which tells it where to the find the GIT repository. https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Remote_import_paths This adds two pages to support this Go module resolution. They are not linked from anywhere as we don't expect users to actually look at them. If someone does happen upon them, there's some boilerplate text to send them off to godoc.org for API documentation. Since the pages we're adding have a .html extension, we will also use a small apache config tweak on the server RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/libvirt-go$ /libvirt-go.html [L] RewriteRule ^/libvirt-go-xml$ /libvirt-go-xml.html [L] Reviewed-by: Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

The obsolete `Go <https://golang.org/>`__ package ``libvirt.org/libvirt-go-xml``
provided annotated Go struct definitions for parsing (and formatting) XML
documents used with libvirt APIs.
This package is replaced by the new `libvirt.org/go/libvirtxml
<go/libvirtxml.html>`__ package in order to switch to using `semver
<https://semver.org/>`__ and `Go modules <https://golang.org/ref/mod>`__.
Aside from the changed import path and versioning scheme, the new package API
is fully compatible with this legacy package.
Software currently using this package will keep working, but no further
development will take place. libvirt XML scheme elements/attributes introduced
after 7.4.0 will never be available. Authors are strongly recommended to switch
imports to point to the new package, to prepare for future Go toolchains
which will mandate Go module support and semver.

For details of Go specific behaviour consult the
docs: Point to pkg.go.dev instead of godoc.org The former is the new recommended frontend for browsing Go API documentation online. Signed-off-by: Andrea Bolognani <abologna@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>
