[The fix](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/17986) for the small buglet addressed by `misc-cgo-testcshared.patch` has been merged into the tree a while back. I was surprised to see that it wasn't in 1.7.5 and did a bit of digging. It is *has not* been merged into the 1.7 branch but it *has* been merged into 1.8 (and therefor the patch will no longer be necessary).
Figured I'd document my digging for the next person to come along.
Update the go package to v1.7.5.
- This release no longer needs the time-test patch (it's been merged upstream).
- This release still seems to need the cgo-testcshared patch.
- Also add a comment about environment set up that I need to build it successfully on a very large server.
Tested on CentOS 7.
* Removing the nobuild, nolink, and alldeps dependency types in favor of being explicit.
* This will help with maintenance going forward, as adding more dependency types won't affect existing declared dependencies in weird ways.
* default deptype is still `('build', 'link')`
* Update go to 1.7.4 and 1.6.4 to fix security issues
The go team recently rolled out two releases to address security
issues. Details available on the [go release
site](https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html).
This commit updates our explicitly supported versions.
It also includes a comment about two CentOS requirements (enable
user_namespace and ensure that the static c library is installed) that
are required for the pacakges to pass their tests.
* Flake8 cleanup
* Update go-bootstrap package
The last C based Go src tree was the 1.4 series. For a while they
were cutting new releases so that people could bootstrap from a C only
system. Now they're recommending that you either use the release-1.4
branch or that you use a date-stamped tarball that they'll produce on
an as-needed basis.
There are several issues that keep 1.4.2 from building on a CentOS 7
system.
I've switched to the date based tarball.
The cgo bits were also mis-behaving, but they're not needed for the
bootstrapping task so I've set an environment variable that disables
them.
Details [on the install-from-source
page](https://golang.org/doc/install/source#go14) and these issues:
- https://github.com/golang/go/issues/17545
- https://github.com/golang/go/issues/16352.
* Update go package
Switched from pulling from the git repository to using the source
tarballs and added digest values.
Added support for 1.7.3, continued supporting 1.6.2, including patches
for a couple of problems (details in
[17545](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/17545) and
[17986](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/17986).
Dropped support for 1.5.4 and 1.4.2 because they no longer pass their
tests and the patches above to not apply.
* Fixed a few small bugs in the 'git-lfs' install script.
* Fixed a bug in the '(go|go-bootstrap)@1.4.2+test' install scripts.
* Fixing a minor style issue in the 'git-lfs' install script.
This commit includes:
* a new go package that uses gccgo to bootstrap the go toolchain
* env support added to Executable
* a new Go fetch strategy that uses `go get` to fetch a package and all
of its deps
* A platinum searcher package that leverages the new go package and
fetch strategy
