We should then generate dmd packages for every distro release because they can fail between releases too.
Or just let specific distro package maintainers do their job.
The only thing that breaks the current dmd zip system is libcurl dependency. All other thinks properly works on all Linux distros/releases.
Are you actually sure? _all_ stuff? _all_ distros? I doubt it.
Should we change all this well working system due to a single problem with an external library dependency?
It is not working, it just happens to not work for a very tiny user base which is more likely to workaround the issue by building from source other than reporting it.
Really, I don't care what the solution is. You can leave current archive as-is and close that Fedora issue as invalid, it is not that important. Just stop pretending it is supported for all platforms and that it can _possibly_ be supported for all platforms.
