Per discussion in https://github.com/nim-lang/nightlies/commit/2f7c65c10979c954a1f6cc26d86e0eca73f7c594#commitcomment-32539202, use windeps.zip instead of dlls.tar.gz.

What's the motivation behind downloading this instead of dlls.zip? It includes random stuff like 7zip.exe.

genotrance commented 4 years ago

There was a push back then but I think Nim still uses only dlls.

genotrance commented 4 years ago

Looks like we finally moved to windeps. cc @alaviss

alaviss commented 4 years ago

yep, windeps is what Nim releases are made with.

dom96 commented 4 years ago

So why not just replace dlls with this new windeps archive?
