[CentOS-devel] Updating golang in CentOS Extras?

We (the Paas SIG) have made several versions of golang on cbs.  The
Virt SIG has as well.
Just find the version you are looking for [1] and tag it into your
build targets -candidate tag.
You'll need to wait until your repo is rebuilt (automatic, often in
under 30 minutes) and there you have it, you now get that version of
golang.
One warning.  You will get *that* version of golang.  If the version
is extra's updates to something else that you want, you will have to
untag  your version of golang.
