How to backport latest go version?

How to backport latest go version?

Hello all,

I am currently using scarthgap branch and was not able to successfully backport latest go version 1.26.0.
I have created a custom layer (meta-dummy) and added all the files from recipes-devtools/go of Whinlatter branch. Yet, when I invoke bitbake recipe-name, I get the old version which is present as

❯ tmp/sysroots-components/x86_64/go-cross-armv8a/usr/lib/aarch64-tdx-linux/go/bin/go version
go version go1.22.12 linux/amd64

I am able to set the preferred version in local.conf and it builds fine and I am able toverify the binary version for the host.
PREFERRED_VERSION_go="1.26.0"
PREFERRED_VERSION_go-native="1.26.0"
PREFERRED_VERSION_go-cross="1.26.0"

Am I missing something here? Is it the right way to backport?

Best regards,
Navin

The usual solution is to use the mixin-layer for scarthgap/go:
https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-lts-mixins/log/?h=scarthgap/go

See the note in https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/ref-manual/release-process.html#long-term-support-releases

Since backporting this class to scarthgap is not permitted (as it is a new
feature). Maybe your best guess is to get it merged in the mixin layer?
