== Summary ==
Rebase of Golang package to upcoming version 1.16 in Fedora 34,
including the rebuild of all dependent packages(the pre-release
version of Go will be used for the rebuild if released version will
not be available at the time of the mass rebuild).

Morollón]]
* Email: jca...@redhat.com, alexsa...@redhat.com
== Detailed Description ==
Rebase of Golang package to upcoming version 1.16 in Fedora 34. Golang
1.16 is scheduled to be released in February 2021.
Due to Go packages' current nature and state, the rebuild of dependent
packages will be required.
== Benefit to Fedora ==
Stay closely behind upstream by providing the latest release of Go,
which includes improved support of the risc-v processor architecture
and added support for aarch64 based darwin(macOS) machines, among
other bug fixes, enhancements and new features. For a complete list of
changes, see upstream change notes at
https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.16 . Therefore Fedora will be providing
a reliable development platform for Go language and projects written
in it.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: Rebase Golang package in Fedora 34, help resolve
possible issues found
* Other developers: Fix possible issues, with help from Golang maintainers.
* Release engineering: Rebuild of dependent packages as part of
planned mass-rebuild. Tracking
issue.[https://pagure.io/releng/issue/9904]
* Policies and guidelines: N/A
* Trademark approval: N/A
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
;0.
:a) Install golang 1.16 from rawhide and use it to build your
application(s)/package(s).
:b) Scratch build against rawhide.
;1.
:Your application/package built using golang 1.16 should work as expected.

'go-rpm-macros'
Omitted due to the number of packages listed ~1600.
Not all of listed require re-build as they might not ship binaries
and/or do not use golang compiler during build, but only use Go rpm
macros that pull it in to every build root.
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism:Reverting to golang version 1.15.X if
significant issues are discovered.
* Contingency deadline: Beta Freeze(?)
* Blocks release? No
* Blocks product? No
