Discussion Thread - https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f45-change-proposal-golang-1-27-system-wide/192438 This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux. 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 == Update of Go (golang package) to the upcoming version 1.27 in Fedora 45. == Owner == * Name: [[User:alexsaezm| Alejandro Sáez Morollón]] * Email: [email protected] == Detailed Description == Update of Go (golang package) to the upcoming version 1.27 in Fedora 45. Go 1.27 is expected to be released in [https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.27 August 2026]. A mass rebuild of all the dependent packages is required. == Feedback == No feedback yet. == Benefit to Fedora == Fedora users will receive the most current and recent Go release. Being close to upstream allows us to avoid security issues and provide more updated features. Consequently, Fedora will provide a reliable development platform for the Go language and projects written in it. For a complete list of changes, see upstream change notes at https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.27 == Scope == * Proposal owners: Rebase the Golang package in Fedora 45 and help resolve any issues found during the rebuild. * Other developers: Fix potential issues with the help of the Golang package maintainers. * Release engineering: [https://forge.fedoraproject.org/releng/tickets/issues #Releng issue number] 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 the Fedora Strategy: It helps maintain the quality of the project, even though it doesn't align directly with the current objectives. == Upgrade/compatibility impact == No upgrade or compatibility impact. == Early Testing (Optional) == == How To Test == # Install golang 1.27 from rawhide and use it to build your application(s)/package(s). # Perform a scratch build against rawhide. # Your application/package built using golang 1.27 should work as expected. == User Experience == Users will have a newer version of Go, with new features described in the release notes and security fixes. == Dependencies == <pre> dnf4 repoquery -q --releasever=rawhide --disablerepo='*' --qf='%{name}' --enablerepo=fedora-source --enablerepo=updates-source --enablerepo=updates-testing-source --archlist=src --whatrequires 'golang' dnf4 repoquery -q --releasever=rawhide --disablerepo='*' --qf='%{name}' --enablerepo=fedora-source --enablerepo=updates-source --enablerepo=updates-testing-source --archlist=src --whatrequires 'compiler(go-compiler)' dnf4 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: ~900. </pre> == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Revert to Go 1.26.X if significant issues are discovered * Contingency deadline: Beta freeze * Blocks release?
