Reimported pkglint-4.518 from pkgtools/pkglint as pkglint4
The Perl version of pkglint (pkglint<5.0) runs on all platforms that are supported by pkgsrc. Not so the Go version (pkglint>=5.0). To support development of packages on all platforms, this version is provided, and it will be supported equally. Its output differs a bit from pkglint>=5.0, but the basic checks are the same.

+pkglint is for pkgsrc packages what lint(1) is for C files. It checks
+for various things that the used languages cannot detect, for example
+application-specific restrictions on certain variables.
+
+Before importing a new package or making changes to an existing package,
+pkglint should be run in the package's directory to check for common
+errors.
