A collection of packages shared by the tools and mongomirror.

Note: This project has been deprecated as of TOOLS-2802 and currently supports only the mongo-tools/v4.2 branch for critical changes.

To use the packages found here, use mongo-tools as a dependency instead.

First, add a mongo-tools dependency with the desired commit hash or tag in your go.mod file:

require github.com/mongodb/mongo-tools <commit-or-tag>

Then add the following import path with the desired subpackage in your Go file:

import "github.com/mongodb/mongo-tools/common/<subpackage>"

If a change to mongo-tools/v4.2 requires changes to mongo-tools-common, make the changes and create a pull request to merge them to mongo-tools-common/v4.2.

When merged, create a lightweight tag for mongo-tools-common/v4.2 with appropriate minor/patch versions and push it:

git tag v2.X.x
git push upstream tag v2.X.x

Then in the Gopkg.toml file for mongo-tools/v4.2, update the mongo-tools-common constraint:

[[constraint]]
  name = "github.com/mongodb/mongo-tools-common"
  version = "v2.X.x"

Finally, revendor the dependency in mongo-tools/v4.2 using dep:

dep ensure -update github.com/mongodb/mongo-tools-common
