Is go-toolset-1.11 available on Centos-7?

[kirbyzhou]

Through the blog of RHEL, I found that there is a go-toolset-1.11 available for RHEL7.
https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2019 ... rust-1-31/

But I can not find it on Centos 7, I can only get devtoolset-8 which only contains gcc-8 not golang-1.11.

There is

go-toolset-7.x86_64 1.10.2-4.el7 centos-sclo-rh

but that is 1.10 not 1.11.

However, in the EPEL repo there is

golang.x86_64 1.11.5-1.el7 epel

along with about another 6 pages of "golang-*" packages, all 1.11.

I found a redhat errata here of golang-1.11, but I donot know how to get the source rpm.

Anyone know it?

I suspect you really want the EPEL copy

Code: Select all

golang.x86_64                                                               1.11.5-1.el7                             epel

Thanks for your help.
I prefer the SCL version more than EPEL. EPEL sometimes bump RPM version without compatible verification. For example, it promote go from 1.8 to 1.11, while SCL keeps multiple version can be installed side by side.
Upstream RedHat has provided the SRPM of go-toolset-1.11, but why it is missing from CentOS?

Thanks, I only checked 7Server branch, it contains old versions only.

Because no one on the SCL team has rebuilt it yet. You can put in a request for it on the mailing list, but there’s no guarantee that things will happen soon. Particularly if the SCL team is part of the CentOS core team and is working on getting CentOS 8.0.1905 built.

I requested the Go/LLVM/Rust toolkits be added after DTS 8 came online for CentOS, but there’s hasn’t been any movement on that front yet. I’d provide help but I’m not sure what the protocols are for the Red Hat SRPM rebuilds.

Cheers,
Mike

The SCL SIG don't share any members with the core team that I can think of.

I'd suggest a mail to centos-devel or dropping by the #centos-meeting channel on Freenode IRC when their next scheduled meeting is on.
