Hello,
I have submitted change proposal[1] to re-base golang in Fedora 24, with re-based
golang support for PowerPC should be considerably improved[2].
For testing. I have prepared COPR repository with pre-release golang[3](for ppc64le
only). You can enable the repository easily with command "dnf copr enable
jcajka/golang1.6" and then "dnf install golang".
To test golang on ppc64 you need to build it yourself. Download the srpm from up
mentioned COPR repo page[4]. And build it using mock with command similar to the following
"mock -r fedora-rawhide-ppc64 --resultdir results golang-1.6.src.rpm", after the
build finishes, results(rpms to be installed) will be place in to the "results"
directory.
I believe I'll need to coordinate with you to get a binary set
(ppc64/ppc64le/noarch/src rpms) that are identical for bootstrapping
of golang to import into koji. For the we'll need to ensure the build
is a lower NVR than the first 1.6.0 build that lands in primary (I
usually use 0.1 ie if the first primary build will be
golang-1.6.0-1.fc24 built the bootstrap build golang-1.6.0-0.1.fc24).
Please test and provide any feedback.
Also this brings up question of switching default Go compiler to golang for both
ppc64/ppc64le in Fedora 24. What are yours opinions about it?
I think we should do it now and just get on with it :)
