Number of packages in Nimble

[ghost]

If you check nimble package repository where package.json is stored, you can actually see that there's 639 packages, not 194 (I don't know where did you take that number from)

@Yardanico thanks the input; will pull your PR soon; I got the number from:
https://nimble.directory/packages.xml which shows 194 pacakges
is that file outdated? should it be updated?

will close this issue after your reply

@timotheecour this list seem to contain only packages which were added after nimble.directory got created (maybe?) New and updated Nim packages - so no old packages

gotcha, I missed that; I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who'll get confused by that; it's made worse by the fact that nim-lang/Nim#7400 still prevents someone browsing https://nim-lang.org/docs/lib.html from seeing packages, the fact that https://nimble.directory/ doesn't show the total number of packages.

opened nim-lang/Nim#7410 just in case
