<p>I'm running go on Raspbian, and because debian is right now in a freeze, no new packages are being added, so go is still on 1.7.4 (and <a href="https://golang.org/dl/" rel="nofollow">https://golang.org/dl/</a> doesn't support ARM).</p>
<p>I remember that I was able to get RC builds through go get. Can I get full release that way?</p>
<hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>kostix: <pre><p>You can just use <code>git-buildpackage</code> to build <code>golang-1.8</code> packages out of the official Debian repository (see the <a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang" rel="nofollow">package's page</a>).</p>
<p>Basically, you do:</p>
<pre><code># apt install git-buildpackage
$ gbp clone git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-golang/golang.git
$ git checkout -b golang-1.8 origin/golang-1.8
$ git buildpackage -uc -us -b
</code></pre>
<p>…and then install the resulting Debian package(s).</p>
<p>I'm routinely doing this to have "almost up-to-date" Go packages on the Debian systems at my $dayjob. The only addition step I pefrorm is running</p>
<pre><code>$ dch --bpo
</code></pre>
<p>before building — to add an entry to the package's log file indicating the package is backported,
and then add the <code>--git-ignore-new</code> to the call to <code>git buildpackage</code> to make it not bark on the changed but not committed <code>debian/changelog</code> file.</p></pre>ChristophBerger: <pre><p>Thanks for sharing this! </p>
<p>Between checkout and buildpackage, I guess there should be a step that builds the Go distribution from the sources? </p>
<p>I ask this becasue I get this error on the <code>git buildpackage</code> step (on a Bananian Pi BTW):</p>
<pre><code>gbp:error: Couldn't checkout "golang-1.8_1.8.orig.tar.gz": execution failed: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
</code></pre></pre>kostix: <pre><p>Ah, no, I think this has something to deal with automagical creation of "upstream source tarballs" which are still required to properly build a Debian package even though they are typically not directly stored in a package's Git repository.</p>
<p>Try doing</p>
<pre><code># apt install pristine-tar
</code></pre>
<p>and then re-clone using</p>
<pre><code>$ gpb clone --pristine-tar git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-golang/golang.git
</code></pre>
<p>(I think the option <code>--pristine-tar</code> is not actually needed as it's assumed to be the default but …well, I'd put it there to be on the safe side for sure.)</p></pre>ChristophBerger: <pre><p>Thanks a lot, this eliminated the error. I now observe some missing dependencies (fakeroot etc) but I'll figure that out. </p></pre>allowthere: <pre><p>Same segfault :(</p></pre>ChristophBerger: <pre><p>The option of installing a complete Go env through go get is new to me.</p>
<p><a href="https://golang.org/doc/install/source" rel="nofollow">Installing from source</a> could be a solution.</p></pre>allowthere: <pre><p>Tried that, segfaults in </p>
<h5>../misc/cgo/testplugin</h5>
<p>./test.bash: line 34: 21001 Segmentation fault LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(pwd) ./host
2017/03/17 Failed: exit status 139</p></pre>ChristophBerger: <pre><p>Maybe try the steps described by <a href="/u/kostix" rel="nofollow">/u/kostix</a>. </p></pre>kostix: <pre><p>You might consider bringing this up on the <a href="https://groups.google.com/d/forum/golang-nuts" rel="nofollow">golang-nuts mailing list</a> or go straight to the <a href="https://github.com/golang/go/issues/" rel="nofollow">bug tracker</a>.</p>
<p>I'd recommend to chime in on the mailing list first.</p>
<p>Be sure to pefrorm a clean build in a reasonably clean environment (that is, make sure you don't have autogenerated files in your checkout, you did not have the <code>GOROOT</code> env. var. set etc), and include the error output to your mail.</p></pre>allowthere: <pre><p>Yup, looks like it's only for beta:</p>
<p><a href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/build/version" rel="nofollow">https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/build/version</a></p></pre>jeffrallen: <pre><p>It can be made to work for final releases too:</p>
<pre><code>$ go get github.com/jeffallen/build/version/go1.8
$ go1.8 version
go1.8: not downloaded. Run 'go1.8 download' to install to /home/jra/sdk/go1.8
$ go1.8 download
...
Success. You may now run 'go1.8'
$ go1.8 version
go version go1.8 linux/amd64
</code></pre>
<p>I don't know why the Go team does not support this, maybe no one has asked for it. I like it and use it for my own installs.</p>
<p>-jeff</p></pre>flemeur: <pre><p>Maybe try godeb? <a href="https://github.com/niemeyer/godeb" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/niemeyer/godeb</a></p>
<p>I use it to install the latest go version as a debian package, but i'm not entirely sure if it supports ARM</p></pre>kostix: <pre><p>Looks like <a href="https://golang.org/doc/go1.8#ports" rel="nofollow">Rpi's ARMs are supported on 1.8</a>.</p></pre>titpetric: <pre><p>Guys, somebody should add Docker to the list. All it takes is a 'docker run' command and you can have any version from Docker Hub, of which there are many many.</p></pre>
