I would start by doing scratch builds to see if there are versions of go which will compile the code in EPEL-6 and EPEL-7. I am expecting EPEL-6 might be too old and is only got a 18 months of life left so keeping it at -2 and using the security updates will be the case. EPEL-7 might be possible but not sure. After that, the process for doing it in EPEL would be to email this list with the reasons why an upgrade needs to be done, and then put in a ticket https://pagure.io/epel/issues that we will discuss at the next meeting. EPSCO would then probably give approval and you would then send one more email announcing it is happening and bob's your uncle. > Thanks, > > Dave > _______________________________________________ > epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
