Package Template for when out of Beta - Zig - Ziglang about void-packages HOT 6 CLOSED

Language creator here. It'll be in "beta" until 1.0.0. That's the point at which I can look at someone in the eyes and say, "you can use this in production for mission critical software."

Once self-hosted is complete, the build process will always be exactly 3 steps, from source to final binaries, and the cmake build will do all the steps. You should be able to use the "default" cmake build invocation of the system package manager once everything is done. See ziglang/zig#853 for more details.

I didn't get cross builds working iirc, because something pulls in libgcc which then removed some chroot- packages.

Why does it have to come out of beta?
(For example, Crystal is also in beta, but shipped in the repos.)

zig is already packaged and has been updated to 0.6.0 a few days ago.
