[Bug 1794395] Re: upload golang-1.10 1.10.4 to all supported releases of ubuntu

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Michael, or anyone else affected,

Accepted golang-1.10 into xenial-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-1.10/1.10.4-2ubuntu1~16.04.1
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: golang-1.10 (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: New => Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [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.
