I have a bit of an issue, I have a Go project that I depend on (DPkg) and this project has some small dependency on another package (TPkg).
For some reasons which is irrelevant to the question I am not able to build TPkg at the moment however I know that I do not ever use the parts of DPkg that call TPkg so I went ahead and recreated a fake DPkg in my vendor folder.
The issue is that whenever I run dep ensure, dep will attempt to handle this package. I have attempted setting an ignored constraint on it in my Gopkg.toml but then dep just deletes my code in the vendor folder. I have also tried further adding a prune.project constraint to mark TPkg as unused-packages = false but that does not prevent dep from deleting the package.
Is there any way that I can tell dep to ignore TPkg completely and by that I mean, don't attempt to change it or delete it?
I know what this means and how bad it is in terms of issues and maintainability but that is not the question at hand here.
