--- Comment #8 from Dave Cottlehuber <dch at skunkwerks.at> ---
AFAICT the issue is that `go get` $THING retrieves upstream packages afresh. I
found the same issue when doing the OSX port for hugo, a go static site engine.

I'm not sure yet if /usr/ports/lang/go/files/bsd.go.mk correctly handles
versioning of dependent components; I can't see how e.g.
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/blob/master/security/go.crypto/Makefile
seems to get things right, as the bsd.go.mk file has no smarts.

Is the best option is to implement a port of godep, and then use a godep file
as a patch that specifies the required dependencies?

@cheffo BTW I am on efnet/#freebsdports as dch if you want to discuss over IRC.

The best long-term solution is probably to extend bsd.go.mk so that it can
simply be given a list of tuples for dependencies, extracted from Godep output,
and it will Do The Right Thing wrt fetching and updating:

{
    "ImportPath": "github.com/influxdb/influxdb",
    "GoVersion": "go1.4.2",
    "Deps": [
        {
            "ImportPath": "github.com/boltdb/bolt",
            "Comment": "v1.0-43-gcf33c9e",
            "Rev": "cf33c9e0ca0a23509b8bb8edfc63e4776bb1a330"
        },
        {
            "ImportPath": "golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt",
            "Rev": "1351f936d976c60a0a48d728281922cf63eafb8d"
        },
        {
            "ImportPath": "golang.org/x/crypto/blowfish",
            "Rev": "1351f936d976c60a0a48d728281922cf63eafb8d"
        }
    ]
}

But that's beyond my skills at present.
