[Bug 1977860] Re: Backport to 20.04 LTS

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Okay, this is fine, accepted into focal-proposed. That being said, we
need to make sure that the backported version (1.18.3) is also available
in jammy, as jammy is stuck with an older version right now - 1.18.1. So
I'm putting a block-proposed tag on this one until someone uploads (with
proper SRU test plan) the .3 version of golang-1.18 to jammy-proposed.

Title:
  Backport to 20.04 LTS

Status in golang-1.18 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in golang-1.18 source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Rationale]

  As part of our entreprise desktop offering, we need to backport a recent version of ADSys to 20.04 LTS.
  This version depends on a recent Go version for embedding and more (golang 1.18), thus we need to backport Go 1.18 as a new separate binary package, as it’s already the case for current adsys and the backport of 1.16.

  [Test Plan]

   1. Ensure Golang 1.16 is published in -proposed
   2. Start a build with a package, requiring Golang 1.18 (dependency + PATH set to Golang 1.18 go binary).
   3. Ensure the package builds successfully.
   4. Run go version <your binary> which should display: "go1.18.x" (x being the version uploaded).

  [Where problems could occur]
   * Package depending on this Go version would not be able to compile.
   * As this is a separate, versionned, new package, no impact on existing ones.
   * FYI, we already built ADSys against this Go version in our ppa: https://launchpad.net/~didrocks/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
