http.FileSystem source

[wayneashleyberry]

There are 3 open pull requests adding an http.FileSystem migration source, any chance we could prioritise one of them and all put our efforts in the same place?

• Add http.FileSystem migration source driver support #293
• Added http.Filesystem as a source #163
• Use http.FileSystem for all the things #144

I'd really like to help get one of these merged, if at all possible. I want to start using this library with pkger, so if there's anything I can do to help please let me know.

I've seen issues and PRs discussing http.FileSystem that are more than half a year old:

• Packr Box as migration source. #116
• Use http.FileSystem for all the things #144
• add packr support #171

I really hope the community agrees upon a PR and gets something merged, but I don't think anything is going to happen unless maintainers start communicating.

I'd really like to see support for http.FileSystem; please let me know if there's any way I can help 😄

+1, if help needed...

@dhui can you please share your thoughts on this situation?

Out of the three open PRs, which implementation do you like the best? If we polished it up, would you be okay with merging it?

Current status of PRs

#144 needs to be refactored
#163 has the best design but its tests need to be updated to not use temp directories
#293 should adopt a similar design pattern to #163

I'm happy to merge any of those PRs if the issues are addressed. #163 and #293 seem the closest

[dhui]

#293 has been merged to master. Will cut a new release after it's been in master for a bit

Now available in v4.8.0
