up to date release

[stefantalpalaru]

Please make a release that's able to compile Nim-0.10.2. It would help me make a better Gentoo ebuild and it would probably help all the other distro packagers that want a replicable build.

[dom96]

For packaging on Gentoo you should use http://nim-lang.org/download/nim-0.10.2.zip. We won't be tagging releases here because this repo will become too big.

[stefantalpalaru]

That archive is missing the tools/ directory so running 'PATH="$PATH:./bin" ./koch web' fails with "Error: cannot open 'tools/nimweb.nim'".

Are you using the right csources branch? The master branch here can only compile the master branch in the main nim repository. Same for the devel branch.

[stefantalpalaru]

I was talking about http://nim-lang.org/download/nim-0.10.2.zip which dom96 said I should use instead of github releases. It comes with its own csources copy and I can use it, but I can't get HTML docs out of it.

[dom96]

In that case you should use the master branch of this repo which will always correspond to the latest release of Nim.

[dom96]

Perhaps for packaging you could use the C sources in the zip together with a tag of the Nim compiler's repo?

[stefantalpalaru]

I went back to using Github for the sources and pinning this repo to the commit hash that I tested. If you delete the commit in the future to save space, the package will break.

On the other hand, there are no old archives on nim-lang.org/download so that's not a valid alternative for the kind of package stability I'm looking for.

[dom96]

The archives are still on the server though and they won't be deleted.

http://nim-lang.org/download/nim-0.9.6.zip is a 404
