Hello Jakub,
I wanted to ask you at the meeting, how is the update to Golang 1.16 shaping up? Have you tested it on a small batch of packages? Should we expect breaking changes from upstream again?
Best regards,
Robert-André

Define breaking changes ;). AFAIK it should be regular routine rebase, tops surfacing ignored issues and general code and coding issues as usual. I'm working on kicking off the rebuild locally, just finished baseline with F33. To note F33 looks great thanks to your and Fedora's community work.

Best regards,

Define breaking changes ;)
Well for 1.15, they changed some error messages to add quotes and this has broken a number of tests which were checking error strings. Even the smallest of tweaks like this break packages.

Yes this can happen, side effect of other changes fixing issues(IIRC incorrect use of printf function family formatting) that can lead to the real life bugs. To note this has effected rather few packages(10s of, which is in return few percent of the Go package base) and this have been happening each Go devel cycle and most of them being self explanatory. Fix or approach to it is mentioned by the toolchain in the error message. Feel free to reach out if they start popping up in bigger numbers or they look in anyway suspicious to you.
To update on the rebuild I have started to hit some issues with the mock's chain build hitting locked yum/dnf cache that result in the crash of the chain build(Have anyone seen this behavior?). JC
