Description Timothy St. Clair 2015-12-18 20:23:30 UTC

Description of problem:
Update golang b/c there have been significant performance improvements that are desired for openshift.  


Actual results:
$go version
go version go1.4.2 linux/amd64

Expected results:
$go version
go version go1.4.2 linux/amd64

Additional info:
I believe there are may be some existing golang issues on encryption that may apply.

The testcase at http://play.golang.org/p/zpXKadV5mo is what we're hoping to pick up a fix for

So it is issue tracked by BZ1290472 (If I didn't overlooked anything, it is same reproducer). Could you please confirm that for a clarity and a record?

Just elaborate bit on BZ#1290472 assuming confirmation. It is separate issue tracked by the up mentioned BZ with no direct relation(aside it affects all currently released golang versions) to golang version/rebase(it will be/is "fixed" by upstream in upcoming upstream 1.6 release, and it has been fixed in Fedora see BZ1290543).

Comment 7 Timothy St. Clair 2016-01-06 16:43:32 UTC

Primary driver on our end are the performance changes, and upstream k8s support.  gc-performance has substantially been improved.

Comment 8 Yaakov Selkowitz 2016-01-06 17:46:56 UTC

Rebasing to 1.5 would also allow enablement on aarch64.

Comment 13 Timothy St. Clair 2016-01-14 02:45:29 UTC

Make that golang 1.5.3 - recently release CVE as of today.
