[Pkg-d-devel] D packaging in Fedora and Debian

[Thomas Koch]

Bonjour,

je suis Debian Maintainer et me interese de D. :-)

Do you read the D forum[1]? Would you like to share your experience of D 
packaging in fedora there? In Debian we just have gdc and phobos, nothing 
more.

[1] http://forum.dlang.org/group/digitalmars.D

Where do you install libraries? /usr/lib/d? Do you ship the full D sourcecode 
as a kind of header files? Where do you install those? /usr/include/d? Which 
compilers are in Fedora? How do you handle the license issues with dmd? 

Which compiler do you use for packaging? How do you solve incompatibilities of 
different compilers? As I understood, you can't combine binaries produced by 
different compilers, unlike C.

Which build system do you prefer and recommend to be packaged?

Debian has a mailing list for D packaging which has been silent for the last 
years. Maybe you'd still want to subscribe and tell us your experience. See:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-d-devel
and the horribly outdated wikipage http://wiki.debian.org/D

Maybe we could develop a shared D packaging policy for Fedora and Debian? Is 
there a mailing list for D packaging in Fedora?
