New git repository for Go bindings

New git repository for Go bindings

Hi,

I've been working on and off in having Go bindings for QEMU's
QAPI specification. The last version [0] seems to be accepted so
far but we would like not to have that in qemu.git.

In the past [1], Daniel suggested creating a repo per each
generated schema: go-qemu.git, go-qga.git, go-qsd.git

While that works well from the point of view of Go applications
and is neat organized too, afaict they are all bounded to QEMU's
release schedule so it might be enough to create a single repo
such as:

qapi-generators.git
└── golang
    ├── module.py # The go generator
    ├── qemu      # For qapi/qapi-schema.json
    │   ├── doc.go
    │   ├── gen_iface_command.go
    │   ├── gen_iface_event.go
    │   ├── gen_type_alternate.go
    │   ├── gen_type_command.go
    │   ├── gen_type_enum.go
    │   ├── gen_type_event.go
    │   ├── gen_type_struct.go
    │   ├── gen_type_union.go
    │   ├── go.mod
    │   ├── protocol.go
    │   └── utils.go
    ├── qga # qga/qapi-schema.json
    └── qsd # storage-daemon/qapi/qapi-schema.json


Or perhaps a per language repo?

I'd suggest we keep the repo dedicated just for 'go' language, as mixed
language repos are more trouble than they are worth when it comes to
dealing with language specific build tools.


With regards,
Daniel

That's fine for me. Should we go with qapi-go or go-qapi or ?

Victor
