Description Jan Kurik 2017-01-16 09:43:46 UTC

This is a tracking bug for Change: Golang buildmode PIE
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org//wiki/Changes/golang-buildmode-pie

Change default build mode of golang in Fedora packaging macros to buildmode=pie, which results in packages using them to produce Position Independent Executables. Another part of the change is to pass the Fedora hardened linker flags to the external linker(regular system linker). In result reducing exploit-ability of binaries.

Comment 1 Mohan Boddu 2017-02-01 14:15:38 UTC

Is it ready for a mass rebuild?

Comment 2 Jakub Čajka 2017-02-01 17:50:28 UTC

Yes, it is ready for mass rebuild.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.
