After some small changes I got Debian's src-deb of Nim-1.6.14 built on all my Debian/Devuan boxes down to oldstable (ATM aka Deb11 ).
It turns out that some stuff I'm interested in (e.g. ratel) needs an even fresher version. One brain hemisphere would like to have the freshest version that's available for the distribution (De??an, later NetBSD too) even if it needs a local kind of backport, the other one sure would like at least some 2.x version. * How would a nim-2.x plugged into /opt interfere with an nix-1.y installed via the system's package system? * Will this cause problems in the user' in nim and nimble dot-dirs? * Other risks?
