Package: golint
X-Debbugs-Cc: unera at debian.org
Version: 0.0+git20200130.910be7a-1+b5
Severity: normal

So it's unusable with CI/Vim

Example:

$ golint cal.go
cal.go:12:8: expected '(', found ain (and 2 more errors)

$ golint cal.go && echo ok
cal.go:12:8: expected '(', found ain (and 2 more errors)
ok

$ golint --help
Usage of golint:
	golint [flags] # runs on package in current directory
	golint [flags] [packages]
	golint [flags] [directories] # where a '/...' suffix includes all sub-directories
	golint [flags] [files] # all must belong to a single package
Flags:
  -min_confidence float
    	minimum confidence of a problem to print it (default 0.8)
  -set_exit_status
    	set exit status to 1 if any issues are found

$ golint -set_exit_status cal.go && echo ok
cal.go:12:8: expected '(', found ain (and 2 more errors)
ok
