I've adopted this package, and plan to update it to use the community-maintained version at https://github.com/zqqw/pakku unless there are any complaints.

Got:

Please add pacman to dependencies and use SPDX license identifier.

The pakku build process is intermittently failing. Reverting nim to version 1.6.6-2 appears to fix the problem. This happened to me once in the past. Here is what the failure looks like:

CC: bisect.nim
CC: ../../../../../../usr/lib/nim/pure/collections/sequtils.nim
.CC: install.nim
...CC: tools.nim
........Traceback from system (most recent call last)
SIGSEGV: Illegal storage access. (Attempt to read from nil?)

Okay, I successfully triggered the below error. It appears to be nondeterministic: if you run into it, please retry the build again.

Strange, I can't reproduce. Are you using choosenim or the official Nim package?

Got this with nim version 1.6.10-2 and pakku 0.17-2:

error: failed to build 'pakku'

Reverting nim to version 1.6.6-2 resolves the issue.

Thanks for reporting, it's now fixed upstream. The fix should be live in pakku-git.

Tried to install R with 'pakku -S r' and got an error:

fatal.nim(53)            sysFatal
Error: unhandled exception: index 1 not in 0 .. 0 [IndexDefect]

Running 'pacman -S r' worked fine
