What is happening with the 1.11.2 (nee 1.11.1) release

[James Page]

Full list of golang versions in Ubuntu:

     golang |      2:1-5 | precise/universe | source, all
     golang |  2:1.0.2-2 | quantal/universe | source, all
     golang |  2:1.0.2-2 | raring/universe | source, all
     golang |  2:1.0.2-2 | saucy/universe | source, all
     golang |    2:1.1-1 | saucy-proposed/universe | source, all

1.0.2-2 has been consistent since quantal and does include some patches 
from 1.0.3 - the HTTP keep alive issue John refers to is included in 
that patchset:

http://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=820ffde8c396

1.1 is stuck in saucy-proposed right now due to ARM build issues in the 
packaging toolchain; 1.1.1 is stuck in Debian NEW queue upstream due to 
a large number of packaging changes - I need to follow up on that to see 
what those are.

How is the release built? I'm assuming PPA in which case can't we just 
backport the right versions into the PPA so you get a consistent version 
of golang across the board?  I can help with this is need be.

Cheers

James
