Nimble install displays warnings, Code doesn't compile when imported and used #3

On installing with Nim 0.16.0 and Nimble v0.8.2 on Windows 10 with Mingw-x64 setup:-

C:\Dropbox\Private\github\appsnap>nimble install registry Downloading https://github.com/miere43/nim-registry using git Warning: File 'winregistry.nim' inside package 'registry' is outside of the permitted namespace, should be inside a directory named 'registry' but is in a directory named 'private' instead. This will be an error in the future. Hint: Rename the directory to 'registry' or prevent its installation by adding skipDirs = @["private"] to the .nimble file. Verifying dependencies for registry@0.1.6 Installing registry@0.1.6 Success: registry installed successfully.

This doesn't seem to be an issue by itself, but when I "import registry" in my code and try to compile "var key: RegHandle", I get the following error: "Error: undeclared identifier: 'RegHandle'". Same issue with other symbols such as RegKeyRights, samRead, etc.

Renaming the "private" directory to something else does not help, nor does moving winregistry down into the root folder or other hacks I tried.

Now if I instead copy the entire "registry" code to my program folder and import "registry/registry" instead, everything works just fine.

Fixed, run nimble uninstall registry -y, then nimble install registry and import module using import winregistry. If nimble install registry doesn't work, use nimble install winregistry. It seems that this package has name clashing with stdlib_registry file.

New issue - nimble install no longer works:-

Nimble version? Works okay with nimble 0.8.4.

The version of Nimble bundled with Nim 0.16.0 is 0.8.2 and that doesn't work. I tried updating Nimble with "koch nimble" but it didn't get bumped up to 0.8.4 so I just built Nimble directly from repo. Safe to say 0.8.4 works as expected.
