i never talked about binaries. what i'm talking about is that
dub is not a package manager at all.
how can i get a list of available packages? how can i search by
package name or in package descriptions? using web site is not
an option, that functionality should be built-in. how can i get
compilation flags and dependencies from dub without parsing
json, so i can use dub in my build system? (luckily, that seems
to be fixed in recent versions, at least i've seen PRs for that)
so i prefer to think about dub and it's "packages" as
"dependency downloader", but package manager.
dub is a build tool with an automatic dependency solver, it
really shouldn't be called a package manager.
