Erroneous Juju user data on Windows for Juju version 1.23

[Adrian Vladu]

On Windows 2012 R2 with Juju tools 1.23, MAAS user data fails to execute due to an erroneous echo redirect.
This is the PowerShell user data line that fails in my case:
    echo 'Starting Juju machine agent (jujud-machine-1)' >&9

I have attached the cloudbase-init log.

Due to this issue, all the Juju 1.23.x versions are not working with Windows supported versions.

There are a couple of branches in review that will fix windows userdata. Those will probably have to be backported to 1.23.

The following PRs will restore Windows functionality in master branch.

This issue is confirmed to be in 1.23.3

It isn't clear why fixing this requires Go 1.4. Could someone elaborate?

My suspicion is that we have some dependency that needs to be updated and the updated revision requires Go 1.4. If that is the case then in the meantime I'd recommend forking that dependency, fixing it in your fork, and then updating juju to use your fork. Once we move to Go 1.4 we can drop the fork.
