Is there a golang download for latest patch release like 1.20.x?

[silverwind]

Is there a way to download the latest patch release of golang 1.20 which currently is at 1.20.2. On the available downloads, I only find explicit links:

https://go.dev/dl/go1.20.linux-amd64.tar.gz is the initial 1.20 release

https://go.dev/dl/go1.20.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz ist the latest patch release

I would lika a link that resolves to the latest patch release for the 1.20 release, like

https://go.dev/dl/go1.20.latest.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Does it exist?

I’m not aware of a stable URL that always points to the latest patch release like you described (maybe there is one and someone else will chime in), but did want to mention that the json output from https://go.dev/dl/?mode=json is very useful if running in an environment where you can sprinkle in a little curl/jq/sha256sum to automate discovering, downloading, and verifying the latest release.

Hi . Apologies for intruding on the conversation.I think there is an issue with go.dev I have been trying to access the site for days but it's not responding

[Aside: I think it would have been better to start a new thread rather than hijack an unrelated conversation]

go.dev and pkg.go.dev both work perfectly for me.

Are you able to resolve those names to IP addresses - if so, what? What do you see when you attempt to connect? Do you have a static entry for go.dev in your local hosts file?

Maybe you have a problem with your local network - are you going via a proxy or something like that?

Yes, a stable link to latest patch-release is what I'm looking for. Maybe the go team can consider it.

Meanwhile, I will try a curl/jq to achieve the same.

I've raised proposal https://github.com/golang/go/issues/59776 for golang to implement stable and unambiguous versioning.
