What's the current status of Deimos? I don't think that this
kind of bindings is useless, since not everyone always wants
dynamic bindings. E.g. for the sake of simplicity or static
linking. Actually Walter even fixes issues in these bindings
time by time, so I guess the idea is still alive. But I see
some problems now:
1. Some of Deimos bindings are not made into the dub packages.
Also not all of those which have dub.json (or package.json) are
presented in dub registry.
2. No consistency on names. There're repos named with lib
prefix and without it either.
3. I could not find information on how to propose new binding
to Deimos.
Currently we have some bindings in dub registry which are not
in D-Programming-Deimos. Would be better to keep these things
in the same place. One can filter dub registry by choosing the
Development library -> D language bindings -> Deimos
header-only binding, but some bindings (for example, flac) are
not assigned to this section, so you will not see them.
Thoughts?
If you submit a PR adding dub support for to a Deimos repo it
will be pulled.
It just needs someone with enough time (and interest) to write
and test the dub.json files for all the repos then register those
packages with code.dlang.
