I have go-1.4.2,1 installed on a couple of machines and would like to upgrade to go1.5. Since go is now completely written in go, go1.5 requires go to bootstrap it. Unfortunately, the FreeBSD port requires that lang/go14 is installed in order to install lang/go - even if you already have go installed. And lang/go14 is currently forbidden due to security vulnerabilities.
This is not a good situation. The various Java ports do a far better job by checking for the existence of potential bootstrap versions, rather than insisting on bootstrapping with a specific version. -- Peter Jeremy
