Subject: bug#50493: Update go-build-system to use Go 1.17.
Date: Thu, 09 Sep 2021 15:14:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <865yv9mm5a.fsf@mgsn.dev> (raw)
Hello Guix,
This is intended to be a tracking issue for updating go-build-system to
use Go 1.17 by default. The build system currently uses Go 1.14, which
no longer receives security updates [0].
Here's what needs to be done:
1. Address the aarch64 bug [1], either by verifying that it only happens
on emulated systems, or by fixing it if not.
2. Make some much-needed improvements to go-build-system [2]:
* replace the *slow* phase 'remove-go-references with -trimpath option
* avoid building a directory union of Go inputs (and then copying it!)
* add a "go-std-cache-for-build" package (hidden; name to be
bikeshedded), which will be an implicit input in go-build-system (needed
since we removed the pre-built standard library in go-1.17)
3. Some/all Docker packages still require Go 1.14; make them use go-1.14
explicitly. Alternatively, update Docker (significant effort involved).
4. Update or patch broken packages. I've got patches for four so far:
go-github-com-urfave-cli
go-github-com-urfave-cli-v2
go-github-com-sevlyar-go-daemon
go-github-com-keybase-go-ps
I'll submit them as a separate patch and block this with it. If anyone
else would like to see if their favorite package works with Go 1.17, you
can build it with:
go build --with-input=go@1.14=go@1.17 <package>
