* removed packer.Cache and references since packer.Cache is never used except in the download step. The download step now uses the new func packer.CachePath(targetPath) for this, the behavior is the same. * removed download code from packer that was reimplemented into the go-getter library: progress bar, http download restart, checksuming from file, skip already downloaded files, symlinking, make a download cancellable by context. * on windows if packer is running without symlinking rights and we are getting a local file, the file will be copied instead to avoid errors. * added unit tests for step_download that are now CI tested on windows, mac & linux. * files are now downloaded under cache dir `sha1(filename + "?checksum=" + checksum) + file_extension` * since the output dir is based on the source url and the checksum, when the checksum fails, the file is auto deleted. * a download file is protected and locked by a file lock, * updated docs * updated go modules and vendors |

go-homedir
This is a Go library for detecting the user's home directory without the use of cgo, so the library can be used in cross-compilation environments.
Usage is incredibly simple, just call homedir.Dir()
to get the home directory
for a user, and homedir.Expand()
to expand the ~
in a path to the home
directory.
Why not just use os/user
? The built-in os/user
package requires
cgo on Darwin systems. This means that any Go code that uses that package
cannot cross compile. But 99% of the time the use for os/user
is just to
retrieve the home directory, which we can do for the current user without
cgo. This library does that, enabling cross-compilation.
