Package: release.debian.org
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
X-Debbugs-Cc: toddy@debian.org
Severity: normal

Dear release team,

as you're probably aware, the default golang compiler version for Debian 
is determined with the golang-defaults package. Currently, the 
golang-defaults package points to golang 1.24.

Upstream has released golang-1.25 in August 2025, and the next version 
1.26 will most probably be released in about two weeks.

We'd like to switch the default golang version to the latest upstream 
(probably to 1.26, after it has been released).

In https://bugs.debian.org/1116589, Tianon and I had a short 
conversation about how to do this. Tianon said that he thinks this needs 
a transition, so I'm reaching out to you.

However, I'm a bit lost as to how a Ben file could be written. From my 
quick search with grep-dctrl, it seems that only the golang-compiler 
packages need to be rebuilt:

$ grep-dctrl -F Depends: "golang-go " -s Package Packages
Package: golang
Package: golang-any
Package: golang-doc

$ grep-dctrl -F Depends: "golang-1" -s Package Packages
Package: golang-1.24
Package: golang-1.24-go
Package: golang-1.25
Package: golang-1.25-go
Package: golang
Package: golang-doc
Package: golang-go
Package: golang-src

Which does make sense, because the golang-*dev packages are constructed 
to include the source files, there is no binary library compiled.


So, it would be great if you could give your perspective on this -- do 
we need a transition for a new golang compiler? If yes, how could we 
track the progress?

Regards,
Tobias
