nimrod-lang: New and improved formulas #34693
Conversation
The new formula installs nimrod completely from source, following the instructions from the readme.md in Araq/Nimrod. This method does not rely on having a proper bootstrap stage supplied by upstream, so theoretically this allows nimrod to be compiled on any Homebrew setup. The new formula also installs the 0.9.6 version of nimrod, and attempts to stay as close to the upstream source installation instructions as possible.

One of the maintainers will be by to comment more substantially at some point in the next few hours, but Homebrew ❤️ double quotes everywhere. |

It's a bug in upstream. I filed a pull request at nim-lang/nimble#73
|
I'm going to start an upstream RFC for this so that we can develop a plan for handling how this deviates from upstream. I'll report back when I have more information. |
|
The results of the upstream RFC are that we're going to keep nimble away from Homebrew right now and the nimrod formula is going to use the installation method based on the upstream bootstrap. I'll create a new pull request for nimrod only. |
This pull request attempts to improve Homebrew's support for the Nimrod language by supplying two new and improved formulas. The explanation for the changes are in the commits themselves, and I'd also be happy to answer any questions about this here.
