Feature Request: List available zig versions for installation

felipetesc opened this issue 10 months ago · comments

This feature will allow us to verify what zig versions are available before installing it:

Something like:

zvm list

or

zvm check

or

zvm versions

To me the choice of the cmd does't mather much, only to find what binaries are available to be downloaded

You can use zvm ls for this, no?

Actually not, because zvm ls only lists installed versions.

Also, I have trouble installing other versions of the current dev release e.g I currently can install master which gives me version 0.12.0-dev.790+ad6f8e3a5 but for another project, I would like to be able to test version 0.12.0-dev.415+5af5d87ad.

@mlaass That is an upcoming feature of ZVM. Currently, it only installs the daily release and stable, but within the month It should support all versions of Zig (starting with 0.12.0-dev-***).

It's you who should be patient with us when we don't use common sense to understand the nature of open source projects. I can only acknowledge by understanding that with the use of your free time you have improved the library. Library which, have as the mainly beneficiaries ourselves. Thanks!
