Update of minor version of golang coming to EPEL7
by Dave Dykstra
golang-1.18.4 is now available in epel-testing for EPEL7, an update of a
minor version from 1.17.12. I expect it to be promoted in about a week
unless karma changes that.

My policy for updating golang is to follow the updates in RHEL8.
RHEL8.7 updated to golang-1.18.4 a few weeks ago. Golang typically gets
a minor version update twice a year and they only support 2 minor
versions for security updates (and almost every patch release has CVEs),
so minor versions are obsoleted more quickly than most open source tools.
