We thought it's not necessary. Will investigate, stay tuned.

Could create multiple tags at the same hash. But I plan on updating asdf to use the xz file instead.

How I am supposed to build via script?

I have Nim setup via a custom build script, which asks for the current version.

No update here, no update in my system.

There's no need for sub-versions as already documented in the asdf thread. Doesn't this PR fix it for you?

rfrancis/asdf-nim#6

No. I have just explained why. You can easily release a subversion, it costs you the hit of a button and makes the maintainence of the build scripts simple and keeps them concise.

We won't update csources anymore. The cources we have now are always good enough to build a version of Nim that can build any Nim version.
