Package: src:golang Version: 2:1.3.3-1 gccgo, starting with GCC 5 now ships the go tool, which allows building of most packages in the archive. Instead of hard-coding any package to build-depend on gccgo on architectures where golang is unsupported, I built empty golang-go and golang-src packages which depend on gccgo instead. Most packages build, some fail in the testsuite, and some seem to have issues introduced with the packaging side (like golang-go.tools). golang itself doesn't seem to be prepared for new architecture support very well, but it looks good at least on ppc64el, (probably ppc64 too), and arm64. powerpc seems a bit incomplete. Can't say anything about sparc and mips.
The patch for golang can be found at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/199880185/golang_2%3A1.3.3-1ubuntu3_2%3A1.3.3-1ubuntu4.diff.gz It doesn't have to be in golang, such packages could be built from a separate source as well. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
