Hi, As of a few minutes ago, there is now a golang-1.6 package in trusty-proposed: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/golang-1.6 (thanks for the review and copy, Steve).
One difference between this and the package I prepared earlier is that it does not install /usr/bin/go but rather /usr/lib/go-1.6/bin/go so Makefiles and such will need to be adjusted to invoke that directly or put /usr/lib/go-1.6/bin on $PATH or whatever. (This also means it can be installed alongside the golang packages that are already in trusty). Cheers, mwh (Hoping that we can now really properly ignore gccgo-4.9 ppc64el bugs!)
