This package now is built using the official Nim binary distribution for x86_64, so no previous Nim installation is needed to bootstrap.

please consider switching to https://github.com/nim-lang/choosenim which is the official fork as the main repo has been abandoned for years.

Non *-bin packages for open-source software must build from source. If you want to install the prebuilt version, I have created choosenim-bin for this purpose (which also fixes some the other packaging issues).

Works just fine for me with paru, yay, and makepkg. Do you perhaps have cached files that are interfering with the checksum?

Avahe commented on 2021-11-13 22:59 (UTC)

Checksum seems to be failing, had to paru -S choosenim --mflags "--skipchecksums --skippgpcheck"

Is the author aware?

0.7.0 fails to build, due to incorrect checksum, as the release tarball was changed. anyway, 0.7.2 is out, so bump the version before updpkgsums

Please update to v0.6.0.
