I'm very glad that we have the latest Go, but this commit message did not follow our standards, which are linked to in the manual, section 8.5 Submitting Patches. https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html The changelog should have mentioned that we disabled more tests, patched more shebangs, and adjusted the path to the "testar script". I don't think we should revert and rewrite it, but it's something to keep in mind for the future. Having a standardized commit log makes it a lot easier to read the history of the project. Anyways, thank you Petter for handling this upgrade!
