Currently, Fedora 37 has Go 1.19 which is EOL (it has an update recently out of their normal cycle).
Can we update the version in Fedora 37 to the same one that is in Fedora 38 (1.20) to avoid the EOL and allow packages like k8s to be able to build before they go also EOL?
As reference, I previously requested something similar for Fedora 36 https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2941
This seems to have worked out fine for Go 1.19 in Fedora 36? So +1 from me, better to upgrade now than to ship something that's EOL (and hard to patch in case of security vulnerabilities).
There was no issues in Fedora 36 that I can recall.
I'm not sure it's really worth the effort of a major uplift of Go in Fedora 37, given that it will be EOL in December of this year.
It would enable shipping security updates for at least two packages that I know of (syncthing and kubernetes).
+1 from allow this.
(As to whether it's worth the effort: that's up to the maintainer ;))
Given the security update comment, I'm +1 as well.
+1
