Allow using a custom Nim version when building the beacon node #5

Do we care about deleting those accumulated compiler binaries for each target commit, at some point?

It's as simple as an initial make clean, but it will rebuild the compiler each time.

jakubgs commented 2 years ago

That sounds painful. I think I'd rather handle that separately. Maybe in Ansible rather than the build script, since we call it less frequently.

Can you clarify your concern, @jakubgs? The build script will build the Nim binary only once (the result will be cached in the nimbus-build-system/vendor/Nim/bin directory)

stefantalpalaru commented 2 years ago

I found a better solution: delete all but the 10 newest binaries in "build_nim.sh".
