Where did golint go?

[technoweenie]

$ go get -u golang.org/x/lint/golint
package golang.org/x/lint/golint: unrecognized import path "golang.org/x/lint/golint" (parse https://golang.org/x/lint/golint?go-get=1: no go-import meta tags ())

Seeing this locally and from our ci server.

With additional verbosity:

go get -v -u golang.org/x/lint/golint
Fetching https://golang.org/x/lint/golint?go-get=1
Parsing meta tags from https://golang.org/x/lint/golint?go-get=1 (status code 404)
package golang.org/x/lint/golint: unrecognized import path "golang.org/x/lint/golint" (parse https://golang.org/x/lint/golint?go-get=1: no go-import meta tags ())

I believe it's related to https://golang.org/x/lint/golint returning 404 at the moment.

I was able to work around this issue by cloning the repository manually:

mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x \
  && git clone https://github.com/golang/lint.git $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/lint \
  && go get -u golang.org/x/lint/golint

Consider adding --depth 1 on that git clone command, too. Shallow clone is sufficient to get around the issue

I didn't fully understand the thread. This issue is closed. Is the "solution" to do a manual git clone now? Is there no more go get for this dependency?

@mvpmvh The issue is closed because it has been resolved. You can install golint via go get -u golang.org/x/lint/golint, as described in the README.

If there’s a new problem, please open a new issue.
