software installation - How to install a recent, managed version of golang on Ubuntu 14.04? - Ask Ubuntu


the go programming language (golang) has multiple versions , multiple implementations. software requires more recent version 1.2.1 in ubuntu 14.04 via golang-go package:

$ go version go version go1.2.1 linux/amd64 

or version available gccgo-go package:

go version xgcc (ubuntu 4.9.3-0ubuntu4) 4.9.3 linux/amd64 

i guess means it's based on gcc 4.9, bit confusing says:

the gcc 4.9 releases include complete go 1.2 implementation. gcc 5 releases include complete implementation of go 1.4 user libraries. go 1.4 runtime not merged, should not visible go programs.

trying install software using e.g. go get command can frustrating , unhelpful, generating core dumps or strange compilation errors.

what options installing more recent version? need 1.5 or later right now, prefer more general answer.

i don't want install tar.gz package suggested official documentation, since want security updates etc. i'm alarmed see recommend that.

i'm nervous installing ppa since don't have security update guarantees, might best option, , https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-lxc/+archive/ubuntu/lxd-stable seems 1 option.
