** Description changed:
[impact]
To enable packages that are backported wholesale to all releases of Ubuntu
(i.e. snapd) to stop depending on what is now a fairly ancient version of Go,
we are going to upload 1.10 (the version of Go in 18.04 LTS) to xenial and
trusty as well. This is an unusual "SRU" but the plan has been concocted with
the approval of the Ubuntu security team (who I will ask to comment here to
confirm their acceptance of the plan).
[test case]
+ A smoke test, like this:
+
$ apt install golang-1.10-go
$ PATH=/usr/lib/go-1.10/bin:$PATH
$ go version
< check it's 1.10 >
$ cat > trivial.go
package main
func main() {}
$ go run trivial.go
$ cat > trivialcgo.go
package main
import "C"
func main() {}
$ go run trivialcgo.go
+ Then we should verify that snapd builds with the golang-1.10 in proposed
+ take the snapd packaging for each distro series, edit this line in
+ debian/rules:
+
+ export PATH:=/usr/lib/go-1.6/bin:${PATH}
+
+ to reference go-1.10 instead, edit the build-dependencies, and upload
+ that to a PPA that has proposed enabled and check it builds everywhere.
+
[regression potential]
It's a new package so should not impact any existing behaviour. I'm not at
all proposing to update the default version of Go in a stable release.
