[Bug 1977860] Re: Backport to 20.04 LTS

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Didier, or anyone else affected,

Accepted golang-1.18 into focal-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-1.18/1.18.3-1ubuntu1~20.04
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: golang-1.18 (Ubuntu Focal)
       Status: New => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-focal

Title:
  Backport to 20.04 LTS

Status in golang-1.18 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in golang-1.18 source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Rationale]

  As part of our entreprise desktop offering, we need to backport a recent version of ADSys to 20.04 LTS.
  This version depends on a recent Go version for embedding and more (golang 1.18), thus we need to backport Go 1.18 as a new separate binary package, as it’s already the case for current adsys and the backport of 1.16.

  [Test Plan]

   1. Ensure Golang 1.16 is published in -proposed
   2. Start a build with a package, requiring Golang 1.18 (dependency + PATH set to Golang 1.18 go binary).
   3. Ensure the package builds successfully.
   4. Run go version <your binary> which should display: "go1.18.x" (x being the version uploaded).

  [Where problems could occur]
   * Package depending on this Go version would not be able to compile.
   * As this is a separate, versionned, new package, no impact on existing ones.
   * FYI, we already built ADSys against this Go version in our ppa: https://launchpad.net/~didrocks/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
