update golang version

update golang version

[Merrick Luo]

Hi Guix!

I'm writing to ask how the package upgrade is handled, in here
especially for go (the language).

from the release notes[1], I can see 1.23.1 and 1.23.2 was released on
2024-09-05 and 2024-10-01, respectively. However the guix repo still
listing 1.23.0, which blocks my custom package tailscale from upgrade to
the latest version (which requires 1.23.1).

I understand that I can just declare a 1.23.2 version in my custom repo to
workaround this, but would like to check if it's better to have the
latest release available in guix itself? Therefore, I have couple questions:

- Are there any specific reasons we're unable to upgrade to the latest minor versions?
- Is there a designated maintainer for the Go package, or can anyone initiate a version bump?

Thanks,

Merrick

Hi,

The fresh version of Golang and some core go packages are in the queue
to be merged into master branch. If you would like to
test/check/contribute feel free to opt in go-team branch.
