Branch for nim 0.19 prereleases (nim-git in AUR) #36

Open stefanhusmann opened 5 years ago

stefanhusmann commented 5 years ago

Compiling pakku using nim-git currently fails. Merely because "future" module was renamed to "sugar" and "SystemError" was replaced by "CatchableError".

I therefore suggest to have a branch targeting to upcoming nim version, if you do not have one already.

I have this patch, new_nim.txt

but the build still fails.

NIM: src/pakku utils.nim(346, 29) Error: type mismatch: got but expected one of: proc toHex(x: BiggestInt; len: Positive): string proc toHex[T: SomeInteger](x: T): string proc toHex(s: string): string

expression: toHex make: *** [Makefile:123: src/pakku] Error 1

Compile Fails with current Nim Stable, same error. No one can install Pakku. :sob:

@juancarlospaco that's not true. New nim stable is available only in community-testing repo. Moreover, this package is broken and shoudn't be moved to community until the issue will be addressed: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/60490 (although there is workaround).

There are more fixes I should do for 0.19 support. Right now I'm working on this: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/commit/85ea9593b38351e69fedac61ff0c2b958bac4b7f and this problem is much more severe and complex than just replacing SystemError with CatchableError.
