Public bug reported:
## FFE ##
=========
Rationale
=========
This is a Feature Freeze Exception request to update `golang-defaults` from
[Current Version] to [New Version] in Resolute Raccoon.
golang-defaults in Ubuntu currently points to Go 1.25. Debian unstable uses Go
1.26 as its Go version.
This update is necessary because the newer version contains a lot of
performance and security updates which our archive will benefit from.
Upgrading the default Go compiler now ensures the Resolute archive is built
against a fully supported, secure, and modern Go toolchain for the lifetime of
the 26.04 LTS release.
================
Proposed Changes
================
- golang-defaults now points to golang-1.26 instead of golang-1.25, meaning
that future Rust package builds will use Go 1.26 instead of 1.25.
* The upstream Go team maintains a strict policy of backwards
compatibility, meaning that any future rebuilds of packages are
expected to work without issue.
================
seeded-in-ubuntu
================
$ seeded-in-ubuntu golang-defaults
golang-defaults's binaries are not seeded.
==========
PPA builds
==========
The package builds for all architectures in a PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/golang-1.26-transition/+packages?field.name_filter=golang-defaults&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=
============
autopkgtests
============
==================
Additional testing
==================
Test rebuild of rdeps in ppa:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/golang-1.26-transition/+packages
Most of the remaining failures are either not regressions or packages
which are to be removed from the archive.
==============================
Installation and local testing
==============================
