Ahmet Alp Balkan daa22cacba storage/driver/azure: Update vendored Azure SDK
This change refreshes the updated version of Azure SDK
for Go that has the latest changes.

I manually vendored the new SDK (github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go)
and I removed `management/` `core/` packages manually simply because
they're not used here and they have a fork of `net/http` and `crypto/tls`
for a particular reason. It was introducing a 44k SLOC change otherwise...

This also undoes the `include_azure` flag (actually Steven removed the
driver from imports but forgot to add the build flag apparently, so the
flag wasn't really including azure. 😄 ). This also must be obsolete
now.

Fixes #620, #175.

Build the development environment

The first prequisite of properly building distribution targets is to have a Go development environment setup. Please follow How to Write Go Code for proper setup. If done correctly, you should have a GOROOT and GOPATH set in the environment.

If a Go development environment is setup, one can use go get to install the registry command from the current latest:

go get github.com/docker/distribution/cmd/registry

The above will install the source repository into the GOPATH. The registry binary can then be run with the following:

$ $GOPATH/bin/registry -version
$GOPATH/bin/registry github.com/docker/distribution v2.0.0-alpha.1+unknown

NOTE: While you do not need to use go get to checkout the distribution project, for these build instructions to work, the project must be checked out in the correct location in the GOPATH. This should almost always be $GOPATH/src/github.com/docker/distribution.

The registry can be run with the default config using the following incantantation:

$ $GOPATH/bin/registry $GOPATH/src/github.com/docker/distribution/cmd/registry/config.yml
INFO[0000] endpoint local-8082 disabled, skipping        app.id=34bbec38-a91a-494a-9a3f-b72f9010081f version=v2.0.0-alpha.1+unknown
INFO[0000] endpoint local-8083 disabled, skipping        app.id=34bbec38-a91a-494a-9a3f-b72f9010081f version=v2.0.0-alpha.1+unknown
INFO[0000] listening on :5000                            app.id=34bbec38-a91a-494a-9a3f-b72f9010081f version=v2.0.0-alpha.1+unknown
INFO[0000] debug server listening localhost:5001

If it is working, one should see the above log messages.

Repeatable Builds

For the full development experience, one should cd into $GOPATH/src/github.com/docker/distribution. From there, the regular go commands, such as go test, should work per package (please see Developing if they don't work).

A Makefile has been provided as a convenience to support repeatable builds. Please install the following into GOPATH for it to work:

go get github.com/tools/godep github.com/golang/lint/golint

TODO(stevvooe): Add a make setup command to Makefile to run this. Have to think about how to interact with Godeps properly.

Once these commands are available in the GOPATH, run make to get a full build:

$ GOPATH=`godep path`:$GOPATH make
+ clean
+ fmt
+ vet
+ lint
+ build
github.com/docker/docker/vendor/src/code.google.com/p/go/src/pkg/archive/tar
github.com/Sirupsen/logrus
github.com/docker/libtrust
...
github.com/yvasiyarov/gorelic
github.com/docker/distribution/registry/handlers
github.com/docker/distribution/cmd/registry
+ test
...
ok    github.com/docker/distribution/digest 7.875s
ok    github.com/docker/distribution/manifest 0.028s
ok    github.com/docker/distribution/notifications  17.322s
?     github.com/docker/distribution/registry [no test files]
ok    github.com/docker/distribution/registry/api/v2  0.101s
?     github.com/docker/distribution/registry/auth  [no test files]
ok    github.com/docker/distribution/registry/auth/silly  0.011s
...
+ /Users/sday/go/src/github.com/docker/distribution/bin/registry
+ /Users/sday/go/src/github.com/docker/distribution/bin/registry-api-descriptor-template
+ /Users/sday/go/src/github.com/docker/distribution/bin/dist
+ binaries

The above provides a repeatable build using the contents of the vendored Godeps directory. This includes formatting, vetting, linting, building, testing and generating tagged binaries. We can verify this worked by running the registry binary generated in the "./bin" directory:

$ ./bin/registry -version
./bin/registry github.com/docker/distribution v2.0.0-alpha.2-80-g16d8b2c.m

Developing

The above approaches are helpful for small experimentation. If more complex tasks are at hand, it is recommended to employ the full power of godep.

The Makefile is designed to have its GOPATH defined externally. This allows one to experiment with various development environment setups. This is primarily useful when testing upstream bugfixes, by modifying local code. This can be demonstrated using godep to migrate the GOPATH to use the specified dependencies. The GOPATH can be migrated to the current package versions declared in Godeps with the following command:

godep restore

WARNING: This command will checkout versions of the code specified in Godeps/Godeps.json, modifying the contents of GOPATH. If this is undesired, it is recommended to create a workspace devoted to work on the Distribution project.

With a successful run of the above command, one can now use make without specifying the GOPATH:

$ make

If that is successful, standard go commands, such as go test should work, per package, without issue.

Optional build tags

Optional build tags can be provided using the environment variable DOCKER_BUILDTAGS.

To enable the Ceph RADOS storage driver (librados-dev and librbd-dev will be required to build the bindings):

export DOCKER_BUILDTAGS='include_rados'
