Hello, I was trying to compile pakku in Artix Linux with the latest stable packaged version of Nim, pakku is also available in Arch and other Arch related distros. I resolved the compile errors and have so far resolved some of the other deprecation warnings too. But I get a run time error in src/feature/syncinstall.nim after bin pkg updates and when AUR pkg updates are just starting to be processed. An assignment fails due to incompatible types but the types seem to be the same, also it worked before and compiles fine. I've tried various things, and though I specified the exact type of table with toTable, make a test table of the same type, taken from reading the output of some error messages, but it fails at run time. Changing it to a ref table variable won't compile, giving a type mismatch error.
> let satisfied = toTable[package.PackageReference, syncinstall.SatisfyResult] > (pkgInfos.map(p => ((p.name, none(string), none(VersionConstraint)), > > > (false, p.name, some(p))))) > > testtable2 = initTable[package.PackageReference, > syncinstall.SatisfyResult](1024) > > testtable2 = satisfied This does not work!!! It didn't work without the 1024 either, I've been trying various random stuff. I don't know much Nim but it looks like it should work. That's basically what the original code does but it gives satisfied to a proc argument of that type instead. Sorry I don't really know how to explain this more concisely as the types and values are part of a larger app, and you need to have an AUR package in need of updating for 'satisfied' to contain a value, but it still fails when empty. It isn't that big really though and builds quickly. Any ideas for a simple fix? I could possibly make it not be a table and put the info in something like my testing seq [WrapperTuple] but that would mean altering all the other places it gets used too. The pakku author kitsunyan is (wisely? :) ) AWOL at present.
