2016-03-15 20:17:48 Michael Hudson-Doyle description To make maintenance of Go easier in the future, we've decided to allow major versions of Go to be co-installed (like gcc-4.9, gcc-5, etc). The plan goes something like this: 1) convert existing golang source package to golang-1.6 source package, removing version independent things like the man pages and management of /usr/bin/go, changed to install to version dependent paths (/usr/lib/go-1.6 etc) 2) create a golang-defaults package that contains this version independent stuff and links /usr/bin/go to the appropriate version 3) update gccgo-5 and gccgo-6 packages to stop providing an alternative for 'go'. To make maintenance of Go easier in the future, we've decided to allow major versions of Go to be co-installed (like gcc-4.9, gcc-5, etc).

The motivation for this is to allow us to upload pre-release versions of Go without making them the default, to provide a PPA that contains newer versions of Go for Xenial more smoothly and, if necessary, to allow us to upload newer versions to Go to xenial-updates (like #1536882 is doing for trusty) without having to conflict with the version of Go in -release.
