nim-lang/Nim git repo: removed nimfind tool, succeeded by 'nim check --defusages' #17737

The current build fails with (paraphrased) 'unable to touch 'Nim/bin/nimfind' error. Removing references of nimfind in PKGBUILD, allows build to continue as normal.

The "examples" subdir vanished in upstreams repo.

The nim binary package builds some extra tools and includes nimpretty and nimsuggest, while nim-git doesn't.

nim-git /usr/bin/nim nim-git /usr/bin/nimgrep

nimpretty-git /usr/bin/nimpretty

nimsuggest-git /usr/bin/nimsuggest

nim usr/bin/nim nim usr/bin/nim-gdb nim usr/bin/nim-gdb.bash nim usr/bin/nim-gdb.bat nim usr/bin/nimfind nim usr/bin/nimgrep nim usr/bin/nimpretty nim usr/bin/nimsuggest nim usr/bin/testament

edit pkgbuild, please -_-

Please add '--abbrev=0' to _tag() in order to fix pkgver() issue.

official nim from testing is broken too...

@tejasjadhav

Please read the following documentation: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines#Guidelines

EDIT:

Nevermind... There are some discrepancies between master and devel that are preventing pkgver from picking up the tags correctly. I'll update pkgver() to accommodate for this.

Apologies for my initial hostility, I got a bit defensive since *-git packages often get wrongly flagged as out-of-date.

@haawda This will be fixed in pkgrel=2, as it relates to @ferion's comment.

Should have it pushed in the next 15 minutes or so!

Edit: Fixed! The next error:

install.nim(2, 20) Error: undeclared identifier: 'SystemError'
make: *** [Makefile:117: lib/tools] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
utils.nim(222, 26) Error: undeclared identifier: 'SystemError'
make: *** [Makefile:123: src/pakku] Error 1
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

Is related to: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/6e83746caabca00ab2b97a81bd732de4588996fe/changelog.md

The exception hierarchy was slightly reworked, SystemError was renamed to CatchableError and is the new base class for any exception that is guaranteed to be catchable. This change should have minimal impact on most existing Nim code.
