Please also build for RHEL 8 and RHEL 9 (e.g. Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux), on top of the existing CentOS Stream offers on Fedora COPR.

And please also build for openSUSE, both for Leap and Tumbleweed.

Do these distributions have Go 1.20 in their repositories?

PoneyClairDeLune commented

For RHEL 9, yes, it's provided natively. openSUSE Tumbleweed also, but openSUSE Leap (5.15) requires manual installation.

neilalexander commented

I've enabled RHEL 9 and openSUSE Tumbleweed on my COPR. The builds appear to have succeeded.

We won't be able to enable openSUSE Leap if Go 1.20 isn't available in the repositories as we don't control the build environment fully on the COPR builders.

There is one thing to consider though: additional packages for RHEL are actually under the EPEL name, so the packages should be under epel-9-<arch> (epel-9-x86_64 and epel-9-aarch64). Is there a way to set epel-9 to be an alias of rhel-9 to prevent possible exceptions?

neilalexander commented

No idea about aliases but I've enabled epel-9-x86_64 and epel-9-aarch64 and they appear to have built fine too.

Thanks for the RHEL 9 build! It seems to be working quite well.

Checked again on openSUSE Leap 15.5, and Go 1.21 is now available:

Summary        : A compiled, garbage-collected, concurrent programming language
Description    : 
    Go is an expressive, concurrent, garbage collected systems programming language
    that is type safe and memory safe. It has pointers but no pointer arithmetic.
    Go has fast builds, clean syntax, garbage collection, methods for any type, and
    run-time reflection. It feels like a dynamic language but has the speed and
    safety of a static language.

Go 1.21 is available on openSUSE Leap 15.6 (and Slowroll). Could Yggdrasil be built for both as well?

neilalexander commented

I don't see Leap 15.6 but I enabled Leap 15.4 and Leap 15.5, builds hopefully going up soon.
