ccollins476ad opened a new pull request #190: Convert from godep to dep for vendoring
URL: https://github.com/apache/mynewt-newt/pull/190
 
 
   This PR switches the newt repo over to the official `dep` vendor tool.  This repo was previously using the old `godep` tool.
   
   Aside from being "official" and better maintained, `dep` has a few advantages over `godep`:
   * The `vendor` directory is a top-level directory, not a subdirectory of `newt/newt`.  This means that `newt`, `util`, `viper`, and all other Go projects in this repo can share the same vendor directory.  It also means that each Go project doesn't need to store a second copy of its sibling projects in its `vendor` directory.
   
   * Bug fix: OS-specific vendored packages are allowed.  With Godep, these caused `go get` to abort with an error when run on a different OS.
