This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes
process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive
community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved
by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.


== Summary ==
Rebase of Golang package to upcoming version 1.19 in Fedora 37,
including the rebuild of all dependent packages(the pre-release
version of Go will be used for the rebuild if released version will
not be available at the time of the mass rebuild).

== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:alexsaezm| Alejandro Sáez Morollón]], [[User:Jcajka|
Jakub Čajka]]
* Email: a...@redhat.com, jca...@redhat.com


== Detailed Description ==
Rebase of Golang package to upcoming version 1.19 in Fedora 37. Golang
1.19 is expected to be released in August 2022.
Due to Go packages' current nature and state, the rebuild of dependent
packages will be required.

== Feedback ==
No feedback yet.

== Benefit to Fedora ==
Up-to-date and latest Go release will be delivered to Fedora users.
Being close to upstream allows us to avoid security issues and provide
more up-to-date features.
Therefore Fedora will be providing a reliable development platform for
Go language and projects written in it.

For a complete list of changes, see upstream change notes at
https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.19


== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: Rebase Golang package in Fedora 37, and help
resolve possible issues found during package rebuilds.

* Other developers: Fix possible issues, with help from Golang maintainers.

* Release engineering: Rebuild of dependent packages as part of
planned mass-rebuild.

* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Alignment with Objectives:

== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
None.

== How To Test ==
;0.
:a) Install golang 1.19 from rawhide and use it to build your
application(s)/package(s).
:b) Scratch build against rawhide.
;1.
:Your application/package built using golang 1.19 should work as expected.



== User Experience ==
None


== Dependencies ==
<pre>
dnf repoquery -q  --releasever=rawhide --disablerepo='*'
--qf='%{name}' --enablerepo=fedora-source --enablerepo=updates-source
--enablerepo=updates-testing-source --archlist=src --whatrequires
'golang'
dnf repoquery -q  --releasever=rawhide --disablerepo='*'
--qf='%{name}' --enablerepo=fedora-source --enablerepo=updates-source
--enablerepo=updates-testing-source --archlist=src --whatrequires
'compiler(go-compiler)'
dnf repoquery -q  --releasever=rawhide --disablerepo='*'
--qf='%{name}' --enablerepo=fedora-source --enablerepo=updates-source
--enablerepo=updates-testing-source --archlist=src --whatrequires
'compiler(golang)'
dnf repoquery -q  --releasever=rawhide --disablerepo='*'
--qf='%{name}' --enablerepo=fedora-source --enablerepo=updates-source
--enablerepo=updates-testing-source --archlist=src --whatrequires
'go-rpm-macros'
</pre>
<pre>
Omitted due to the number of packages listed: ~2000.
</pre>
Not all of listed require re-build as they might not ship binaries
and/or do not use golang compiler during build, but only use Go rpm
macros that pull it in to every build root.


== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: Reverting to golang version 1.18.X if
significant issues are discovered.
* Contingency deadline:  Beta freeze
* Blocks release? No
