To create Gravitational build of Go.
Backport Fix
First clone git clone git@github.com:gravitational/go.git and checkout our backport branch: git checkout release-branch.go1.9-g. Then cherry-pick the fix back to our branch.
Build Release
Update VERSION. You'll want to update the version after -g. For example if the current version is go1.9.7-g.1 you want to update it to go1.9.7-g.2.
Then run GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=/usr/local/go ./make.bash from the src directory.
Validate the release by checking that the binary is the latest version by running ./go version from the bin directory.
Create Archive
Create archive by first removing the .git directory then running the following command from the parent directory of go: tar -czvf go1.9.7-g.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz go).
Lastly create a checksum: sha256sum go1.9.7-g.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz > go1.9.7-g.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz.sha256
