golang 1.16 for epel7?

[Dave Dykstra]

What will it take to get golang updated on epel7 from the no longer
supported version 1.15?  RHEL8.5 reports a long list of security
problems that are fixed in 1.16.

Jakub or Alex, do you know whose prerogative is this?

I think Jakub is more appropriate than me to answer this question because I
never built EPEL but, as far as I remember, from a conversation with Jakub,
he was doing major upgrades of odd versions.
Mainly because a major version is going to be there for ~1 year and that
gives a little stability to the users of EPEL.
If what I said is accurate, the lack of 1.17 on Fedora is what made this
scenario.

Nevertheless, Go 1.15 doesn't have support anymore from upstream so I would
say that we should upgrade it.
I have no problems with trying to upgrade it to 1.16 or 1.17.

What do you think?

For the record, there's an ongoing conversation in this bug about this
topic:

I have been doing updates to EPEL on my spare time at best effort basis, usually
coupled to the work on the Go in Fedora. Unfortunately recently I don't have
much spare time to use there.

I have been trying to keep the EPEL on the odd(just arbitrary coincidence)
release of Go for entirety of its life time. Giving EPEL stable version of Go
for roughly a year.

Really from my perspective someone needs to show up to do the work there. EPEL's
golang is de facto orphaned for several years now(4+??). If anyone is
volunteering I will be happy to help with on-boarding/reviewing. Even just PR/MR
will be welcomed.

Jakub,

I volunteer to do golang updates on EPEL7.  I am the maintainer of
singularity for EPEL/Fedora so I know how to use the tools.  Just add
dwd(a)fedoraproject.org.

Thank you very much for volunteering. I have added you(dwd) as contributor and committer
for EPEL branches. BZs should switch to you.

If you would have any questions or need any help, feel free to ask.

Thanks.  I found that I could use the f35 packaging files with only one
minor change, and have requested golang-1.16.13-1 to be promoted to
testing:

[Dave Dykstra]

It turned out there were a couple of significant problems with that
first build, but they are fixed in golang-1.16.13-2 which should be
in epel-testing for epel7 by tomorrow.
    https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2022-246382d5dc
It also now resolves 14 additional outstanding bugzilla CVE-related
tickets.

There are more differences now in the .spec file, but they're still
pretty minimal and all within %if statements so it could certainly be
shared with the Fedora builds.
