Dear nimmaintainers,

Nim upstream has supported loong64 since version v2.0.0. Could you
consider upgrading nim to add support for loong64?

If you have any questions or suggestions, you can contact me at any time.

thanks,

The new upstream version 2.2.0 is already support loongarch architecture. I can build success on my local loong64 PC after I do some package work. But this version need use git clone some repos from github during in build, This action is not allowed in Debian, so need to do more work to fix it, patch is welcome. My package work is already commit to salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/nim.git Welcome to continue package this new version.

Regards,

Dear Maintainer,

I can successfully build the loong64 architecture package locally using
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/nim.git, great!
The current version of nim in debian.org is still 1.6.14. Should I
continue to wait for it to be upgraded to version 2.2.0? Will patches be
considered to be synchronized to version 1.6.14?

thanks,

Xiaojuan Zhai
