I'm trying to package gx (a package manager written in Go), but it requires Go 1.11+ to run properly. Currently all Go packages are built with the default Go version which is 1.9. Is there a good reason for sticking to 1.9 or should we update to 1.11? If we've got to stick to 1.11, how should I proceed to package gx? I could define a new build-system like %bootstrap-guile does. Is there a convenient to just change the Go version of the "lower" of the go-build-system? =2D-=20 Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEUPM+LlsMPZAEJKvom9z0l6S7zH8FAlvQWioACgkQm9z0l6S7 zH9TwQgArD0m+2hOUONDIqvZPpAnm3JbFeJLI1JJ+Q9iPxIJIzg5s4shKFncDN0H qf6bJcspl3b+C8A3JbYaWLBfqKIG1pcxabvAlpogZeF3qS4t9CFDKpcEmYpApTkk Qp/0zy8PGIzol9CQRNkFNI541zbjAQC6nf3BRMbYycCX8HGQ48mozr5T5aHPY/+f 6SYZpjtFGNCcbZ3xdBPWZxldkuYeQntNdlKzT7lOPpgPrb4IwBnR3cvVEe2UaJlR TFRUKHN0F8NHqMXWXEt/08KpWZKOFXdDsvrwO5lJk9toQITlfye58j8jMGT1Ut4S VZri0j0WoUjWxefsvup14acpvD7iNw== =UR6n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
