Issues with some packages

https://github.com/abbeymart/mcresponse

The author seems to have switched the project to Go but it's still in Nimble packages.

@abbeymart

https://github.com/twist-vector/nim-geohash has no .nimble file at all

https://github.com/abbeymart/mccache seems to have switched to Go too.

Let's just remove these packages :)

[abbeymart]

The packages are still available in nim. If there is any issues, let me know and I will fix it. Perhaps there was a naming conflict

[abbeymart]

the packages' git-repos were renamed: mccache => mccache-nim and mcresponse => mcresponse-nim

@abbeymart then please make a PR renaming those packages in the Nimble registry :)

[abbeymart]

Thanks, what PR - you meant republish the packages with the renaming? I can re-publish them, if that works :)

@abbeymart nah, you can just make a PR to change the git repo URL for them

For example replace mccache with mccache-nim here in two places (you don't need to change the actual package name)

[abbeymart]

ok, thanks. Will do :)

More issues with packages (from my recent https://github.com/Yardanico/nim-snippets/tree/master/pkgraph run).
Mainly missing .nimble file, code rewritten in another language, dependencies that are not in Nimble.

Sorry for the pings, but I think it's better to either fix issues like that in the package index, or remove the package from the index if the developer doesn't support installation via Nimble. Or at least mark the package as "abandoned".

• @drkameleon - https://github.com/arturo-lang/arturo has no .nimble file
• @philip-wernersbach - https://github.com/philip-wernersbach/nim-orient has the Nim code in a different branch than specified in the package index
• @twist-vector - https://github.com/twist-vector/nim-geohash has no .nimble file
• @Kryptos-FR - https://github.com/fragcolor-xyz/fragments seems to be rewritten in Rust, although I found the Nim version - https://github.com/sinkingsugar/fragments
• @alialrahahleh - https://github.com/alialrahahleh/fjq has no .nimble file (it was removed for some reason)
• @abbeymart - https://github.com/abbeymart/mctranslog/ depends on mcdb which is not in Nimble.
• @sinkingsugar - https://github.com/sinkingsugar/nimtorch depends on the fragcolor-xyz/fragments which, as I said above, is in Rust. The fragments URL in the package index should probably be swapped to https://github.com/sinkingsugar/fragments
• @rekihyt - https://github.com/Rekihyt/astdot/ depends on strings but there's no such package in Nimble.
• @tonogram - https://github.com/tonogram/spinner seems to be archived (probably need to mark the package as abandoned?) and also depends on gradient, which repo seems to be gone - https://github.com/luminosoda/gradient
• @ringabout - https://github.com/planety/fsnotify depends on xio which is in the Nimble index, but it points to https://github.com/ringabout/async that doesn't exist. xio in Nimble should probably point to https://github.com/ringabout/Xio, but I'm not sure. - fixed in rename xio #2359
• @juancarlospaco - https://github.com/juancarlospaco/fision depends on easygl and other packages that are not in Nimble.
• @bung87 - https://github.com/bung87/crowngui depends on goto (maybe https://github.com/sls1005/nim-goto) but it's not in Nimble. - kinda a false positive, because the tagged crowngui release does not depend on goto.

Also checked deleted or archived repos via GitHub API - https://gist.github.com/Yardanico/1c17ce4d94f67a05bc0b000ef68c3d9a - 32 repos that don't exist (only the ones that are on GitHub) and 60 archived ones.

Checked with a quick & dirty program - https://gist.github.com/Yardanico/8470dda537cf4f8538b82de324367580
