Currently, Fedora 39 has Go 1.21 which is EOL since Go 1.23 came out last week.
Can we update the version in Fedora 39 to the same one that is in Fedora 40 (1.22) to avoid the EOL and allow packages to be updated?
As reference, it was previously requested.
+1
(FYI, you might want to request a permanent updates exception if this is going to be a regular thing.)

+1 I suppose
Yeah, this seems like you should make it permanent like Rust's?
+1 to this specific request
I didn't know Rust has a permanent exception, but that sounds like a great thing to not bother all of you with each release :D. Is there any place where I can read how to request it?
Just make a ticket asking for it. The most recent example of this was #3124, but there are others in our history tagged with updates policy exception that you can look at for inspiration.
There's no Updates Policy exception for Rust (the compiler). It just releases backwards compatible versions every 6 weeks and only the latest version is officially supported, so the story is completely different than Go, which releases every 6 months and supports older branches for some time.
(also +1 to this request - for selfish reasons, I want to be able to ship syncthing updates :wink: )
This only happens twice a year, so it's not an issue for me to request it at all. It's more about the noise I create.
APPROVED (+5, 0, -0) after seven days.
