[pkg-go] a mutual dependency problem (Packer)

[Daniel Stender]

Hi,

there's a problem with packaging Packer [1]: github-packer-community-winrmcp [2] needs
the sources of Packer (import "github.com/mitchellh/packer/common/uuid"), while Packer
needs the sources of winrmcp (import "github.com/packer-community/winrmcp/winrmcp") [3],
so there's a mutual dependency.

Both packages are going to have two binary packages, one carrying the compiled application
and another "-dev" package carrying just the source (like Consul [3] and winrm [4]).

I have an idea but wanted to poll, how could get they both in the best way?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel Stender
