If it takes them a long time to figure out vlang/v#457, maybe we could solve it with a wrapper, at least for the standard library.

This changed quick.
vlang/v@5a469c2
Gonna see what I can do.

Waiting until the releases page and v.c is updated, don't want to flip flop between revision and release revision if possible.

A bit meta-question: isn't "v" a bit too short/generic identifier? In particular, it seems that a couple distros use it already for a different project: https://github.com/rupa/v

Since V is a language, changing it to vlang should be fine IMO.

👍 That choice is also supported by them using https://github.com/vlang.

Get this problem with the bootstrapped V compiler, tested locally and it doesn't happen, will make issue both here and on the V repo, not sure which is at fault.

Looks like you are running V for the first time.
Setting VROOT to "/build/source".
time__ticks
0
pass=2 fn=`time__ticks`
panic: time_lin.v:9
undefined: `double`

Not a nix issue, 0.1.4 should be the version that finally gets merged.

Okay, things should be stable enough in this aspect for merge now.

Oh whoops, forgot to change it to vlang instead of v, one sec.

Double checked; Ready.

Like this?

Not sure how my tabs got messed up, but it's fixed now.

@srhb The "wait for upstream" tag is no longer needed, could you remove it please?

Executable says 0.1.9 when executed, but the release is 0.1.10, maybe a release issue.

@Chiiruno , Sounds like another wait-for-upstream issue then?

Upstream is really fast and they're already at v0.1.12.

Looks fine to me now.

I could not make this work:

[nix-shell:~/.cache/nix-review/pr-63738]$ cp /nix/store/xz93v8lxlsjqak6r17c8qh7p2cbp07gx-vlang-0.1.12/share/examples/hello_world.v .

[nix-shell:~/.cache/nix-review/pr-63738]$ v hello_world.v 
Looks like you are running V for the first time.
V repo not found. Go to https://vlang.io to download V.zip 
or install V from source.

To fix that, either we would need to trick the V compilation process into thinking it was compiled at the nix store directory, or have a way to set the V repo directory to the nix store directory.

This may be fixed on the next update, with vlib being moved into /usr/lib.

Should be ready.
