The errors returned from Mount and Unmount functions are raw syscall.Errno errors (like EPERM or EINVAL), which provides no context about what has happened and why. Similar to os.PathError type, introduce mount.Error type with some context. The error messages will now look like this: > mount /tmp/mount-tests/source:/tmp/mount-tests/target, flags: 0x1001: operation not permitted or > mount tmpfs:/tmp/mount-test-source-516297835: operation not permitted Before this patch, it was just > operation not permitted [v2: add Cause()] [v3: rename MountError to Error, document Cause()] [v4: fixes; audited all users] [v5: make Error type private; changes after @cpuguy83 reviews] Signed-off-by: Kir Kolyshkin <kolyshkin@gmail.com> (cherry picked from commit 65331369617e89ce54cc9be080dba70f3a883d1c) Signed-off-by: Kir Kolyshkin <kolyshkin@gmail.com> Upstream-commit: 7f1c6bf5a745c8faeba695d3556dff4c4ff5f473 Component: engine
pkg/ is a collection of utility packages used by the Moby project without being specific to its internals.
Utility packages are kept separate from the moby 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 Moby 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!
