The workflow files that use Go directly (as opposed to inside a container) use actions/setup-go - this action gained an ability to use "relative versions" of
stable
andoldstable
in the last year or two.Switch our workflow file to use
oldstable
rather than a specific version number in order to keep up with releases from Go upstream. Useoldstable
as to ensure the older but still actively maintained version of Go works.This doesn't handle the container image... that's a WIP project for another PR.
