== Summary ==
Rebase of Golang package to upcoming version 1.15 in Fedora 33,
including rebuild of all dependent packages(pre-release version of Go
will be used for rebuild, if released version will not be available at
the time of the mass rebuild).

Morollón]]
* Email: jca...@redhat.com, alexsa...@redhat.com

== Detailed Description ==

Rebase of Golang package to upcoming version 1.15 in Fedora 33. Golang
1.15 is schedule to be released in August 2020.
Due to current nature and state of Go packages, rebuild of dependent
package will be required to pick up the changes.

== Benefit to Fedora ==

Staying closely behind upstream by providing latest release of golang,
which includes performance improvements and improvements in support
for currently supported platforms among other bug fixes and new
features. For complete list of changes see upstream change notes at
https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.15 . In result Fedora will be providing
solid development platform for Go language.


== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: Rebase golang package in Fedora 33, help with
resolving 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. Tracking ticket
https://pagure.io/releng/issue/9548
* Policies and guidelines: N/A
* Trademark approval: N/A


== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
None

== How To Test ==
;0.
:a)Install golang 1.15 from rawhide and use it to build your
application(s)/package(s).
:b)Scratch build against rawhide.
;1.
:Your application/package built using golang 1.15 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 ~1300.
</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 1.14.X if
significatnt issues are discovered.
* Contingency deadline: Beta Freeze(?)
* Blocks release? No
* Blocks product? No
