We should send out a Go 1.6 beta 1 soon. What's missing that needs fixing to get into that?

I would like to try to get an official arm build for 1.6.

I played with the release system a few weeks ago and I think getting an arm binary build out of it should be straight forward.

While we could try all the permutations, I think something at the GOARM=6 level, if it boots on the RPI, should be sufficient.

How does that sound ?

What about issue https://github.com/golang/go/issues/12278 ("go/build:
honour GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT") ?

While obviouly not critical, perhaps this should be fixed before a go
1.6 beta (since vendoring will be enabled by default) ? A lot of
useful refactoring / code analysis tools are currently (half-)broken
with vendoring and having a fix into go/build ready for 1.6 would
probably allow to easily fix most of them.

Yes, that will be fixed.

Sorry for not replying earlier. I don't really know. I guess it sounds fine as long as it works with the current buildlet-based release building system. Do you know what that entails or how close we are to that already? It seems like if we have new-style builders for linux/arm (and we do), it should just work. But again I don't really know.

It should just work.

Great. We can try it and see then. :-)

I'm thinking about Thursday for cutting beta 1. It won't be perfect (it's a beta) but it should be fairly good and it help us start on the list of bugs we don't know about yet.
