I agree. I wouldn't need to screen scrape dlang.org in DVM.
I'd be much more inclined to keep a file called LATEST with the version
number in it than having to maintain a ton of redirects each time.
(not present yet, but for example)
http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/LATEST containing one line:
2.066.1
Does require two trips to get the file you want, but less maintenance
issues.
That's already available by scanning the dmd tags in github. We do that
in dlang.org/posix.mak:
LATEST:=$(shell cd ${DMD_DIR} && \
git fetch --tags ${GIT_HOME}/dmd && \
git tag | grep '^v[0-9][0-9.]*$$' | sed 's/^v//' | sort -nr | head -n 1)
