[Bug 1964270] Re: Feature Freeze Exception: Update golang-defaults to 1.18

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Okay. This was quite the delay per their schedule! Guess Ubuntu should
be proud of never really having a delay longer than a week (which also
only happened a few times). It's unfortunate that this happens a week
before Beta, along with so many other important changes - but what can
one do.

Looking at the PPAs and the progress with the SHA-1 rejection issues, I
feel like this is good to go. Seeing how things are, I'm quite happy
that this seems to be rather low-risk at this point. We promised 1.18 -
so let's deliver! Please proceed ASAP, but also make sure that the other
non-SHA1 related build failures are resolved before the Beta.

Title:
  Feature Freeze Exception: Update golang-defaults to 1.18

Status in golang-defaults package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This change is necessary because we always update to the latest Go
  version before each release.

  Go's source does not provide a changelog, but the changes in 1.18 can
  be seen at https://golang.org/doc/go1.18

  Go 1.18 is not yet released, though it was originally due to be
  released in February. I have already set up no change rebuild PPAs to
  rebuild against Go 1.18, and initial attempts with the beta have gone
  very smoothly. I will update this bug with more information about
  those rebuilds when I have been able to complete them against a
  released version of Go 1.18.
