| pkg/ is a collection of utility packages used by the Docker project without being specific to its internals. |
| |
| Utility packages are kept separate from the docker core codebase to keep it as small and concise as possible. |
| If some utilities grow larger and their APIs stabilize, they may be moved to their own repository under the |
| Docker organization, to facilitate re-use by other projects. However that is not the priority. |
| |
| The directory `pkg` is named after the same directory in the camlistore project. Since Brad is a core |
| Go maintainer, we thought it made sense to copy his methods for organizing Go code :) Thanks Brad! |
| |
| Because utility packages are small and neatly separated from the rest of the codebase, they are a good |
| place to start for aspiring maintainers and contributors. Get in touch if you want to help maintain them! |
