Hi guys,

A package I'm making requires the compiler (head) and Nim devel branch. How do I include this in a .nimble file?

I'm not sure, but I've been using 1.7.1 as the required Nim version for similar reasons. The user still needs to get the devel version, but it'll at least error/warn them.

Yeah, I'm nearing the release of my python-to-nim transpiler Py2Nim. It's using embedded nimscript and a couple other things requiring the devel version. Wish I could remove that version requirement entirely

Hm. Does Nimble not allow it to be omitted?
