Bug 558200 – dev-lang/go-1.5.0 new ebuild

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description user42 2015-08-19 19:25:10 UTC]

Go 1.5 was just released: http://blog.golang.org/go1.5

To build, it requires an existing installation of Go 1.4, which I noticed has been provided by dev-lang/go-bootstrap already.

Reproducible: Always




Here are the changes I made to get the ebuild to work. Now, I am by no means experienced at writing/maintaining ebuilds, but this should be a good starting point for someone who is:

The existing live ebuild or my updated version in bug 558216 also work for 1.5. Those left out your addition of CONTRIBUTING.md though.

This is now in the tree.

Thanks,
