This package is being replaced with https://gopkg.in/redsync.v1. I will continue to maintain this package for a while so that its users do not feel abandoned. But I request everyone to gradually switch to the other package which will be maintained more actively.

Redsync.go provides a Redis-based distributed mutual exclusion lock implementation for Go as described in this blog post. A reference library (by antirez) for Ruby is available at github.com/antirez/redlock-rb.

Install Redsync.go using the go get command:

$ go get github.com/hjr265/redsync.go/redsync

The only dependencies are the Go distribution and github.com/garyburd/redigo/redis.
