As I had some time, I decided to update the Go(lang) package to the newest version available in Debian testing/unstable. Go 1.4.1 is only in experimental yet, so I’ve been holding off for now.

These packages were built on an Raspberry Pi Model B, and should be able to run on every Raspberry Pi (also Raspberry Pi 2) with Raspbian. They include support for all kinds of crosscompilers for Linux on x86 and x86_64 as well as FreeBSD, NetBSD, OS X and Windows.

If you have installed my backport already, then Go 1.3.3 is just a aptitude upgrade away. If you haven’t, here’s the steps:
