Solly Ross a293b2bf94 Check in the vendor directory
Travis seems to be having issues pulling deps, so we'll have to check in
the vendor directory and prevent the makefile from trying to regenerate
it normally.

# YAML support for the Go language
Introduction
------------
The yaml package enables Go programs to comfortably encode and decode YAML
values. It was developed within [Canonical](https://www.canonical.com) as
part of the [juju](https://juju.ubuntu.com) project, and is based on a
pure Go port of the well-known [libyaml](http://pyyaml.org/wiki/LibYAML)
C library to parse and generate YAML data quickly and reliably.
Compatibility
-------------
The yaml package supports most of YAML 1.1 and 1.2, including support for
anchors, tags, map merging, etc. Multi-document unmarshalling is not yet
implemented, and base-60 floats from YAML 1.1 are purposefully not
supported since they're a poor design and are gone in YAML 1.2.
Installation and usage
----------------------
The import path for the package is *gopkg.in/yaml.v2*.
To install it, run:
go get gopkg.in/yaml.v2
API documentation
-----------------
If opened in a browser, the import path itself leads to the API documentation:
* [https://gopkg.in/yaml.v2](https://gopkg.in/yaml.v2)
API stability
-------------
The package API for yaml v2 will remain stable as described in [gopkg.in](https://gopkg.in).
License
-------
The yaml package is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. Please see the LICENSE file for details.
Example
-------
```Go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"gopkg.in/yaml.v2"
)
var data = `
a: Easy!
b:
c: 2
d: [3, 4]
`
// Note: struct fields must be public in order for unmarshal to
// correctly populate the data.
type T struct {
A string
B struct {
RenamedC int `yaml:"c"`
D []int `yaml:",flow"`
}
}
func main() {
t := T{}
err := yaml.Unmarshal([]byte(data), &t)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("--- t:\n%v\n\n", t)
d, err := yaml.Marshal(&t)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("--- t dump:\n%s\n\n", string(d))
m := make(map[interface{}]interface{})
err = yaml.Unmarshal([]byte(data), &m)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("--- m:\n%v\n\n", m)
d, err = yaml.Marshal(&m)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("--- m dump:\n%s\n\n", string(d))
}
```
This example will generate the following output:
```
--- t:
{Easy! {2 [3 4]}}
--- t dump:
a: Easy!
b:
c: 2
d: [3, 4]
--- m:
map[a:Easy! b:map[c:2 d:[3 4]]]
--- m dump:
a: Easy!
b:
c: 2
d:
- 3
- 4
```
