Is this adding the new go version (but leaving the existing one alone), or upgrading the go version to the latest, replacing the older version? I guess this implies a once or (more?) mass rebuild in stable releases with the new version? Or is it intended that packages just build with the new go version the next time they need to be built? kevin -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
