I wonder if people would find it worth having a GitHub action that installs the latest development version of Zig to the runner. I’ve seen some actions that exist only to install python, for example.

Note that the caching is currently broken for goto-bus-stop/setup-zig (Caching not working · Issue #72 · goto-bus-stop/setup-zig · GitHub , Caching Failure · Issue #59 · goto-bus-stop/setup-zig · GitHub ).
There’s a fork with a fix as detailed in this comment:

This has been working great except the cache never seems to work so it downloads… new every time.

It works using the latest v2 branch.

It works as long as you don’t specify a specific dev build, so master and 0.11.0 work, but 0.12.0-dev.3284+153ba46a5 doesn’t cache properly (it fails due to extracting as 0.12.0-dev.3284 but being cached as 0.12.0-dev.3284+153ba46a5 IIUC).
