Hello,

  as golang got deprecated in favor of Go-toolset[1] with release of RHEL 
7.6[2] and as there has been interested[3]. I have unretired and reintroduced 
the golang package back in to the EPEL7. For time being I will keep updates on 
the same cadence as for EPEL6, i.e. keeping one version of GC for the duration 
of its upstream support, i.e. skipping every other major(1.X) release.

  Currently package is in the bodhi update[4] and also update for epel6 is 
there[5], karma and testing will be much appreciated for both.

  Reintroduction of the golang back to EPEL7 opens question if we(I guess as 
Go-SIG and epel/fedora community) should pursue the same (S)RPM macros setup as 
we have in Fedora, so we can get the whole Fedora's Go stack there. Is it even 
technically possible?(changing the minimal buildroot in EPEL7?) What do you 
think about it? Anybody interested?

  JC
