[CentOS-devel] Updating golang in CentOS Extras?

Hi,

Currently CentOS Extras contains golang-1.4.2, but newer versions have been released since. Is there a plan for updating golang any time soon?

In the CentOS Storage SIG we have a package (heketi) that started to depend on golang-1.6.2 (iirc). For us the older version of Golang in Extrasa results in preventing to update Heketi, and so users will not get the new features that are released upstream.

If Extras can not get a newer version of Golang (soonish), what is the preferred approach to make an updated version of Golang available for repositories in a SIG?

Thanks! Niels
