Install failing on go 1.6.1
jayvdb opened this issue · comments
gometalinter --install fails due to undefined: types.SizesFor on go 1.6, which is the latest for the method of installing go which coala is using on Travis CI xenial, but in general we do like to be testing with older versions to catch de-support situations.
It would be ideal if the installer deselected linters which are no longer supported on older versions, using best efforts only of course (and coala could submit issues/patches whenever this happens).
Also would be good if the README could indicate which is the minimum version that gometalinter is supporting.
