I've seen people use both 'd' and 'dlang' now, so I created a poll. Everyone assembling Linux packages is then free use the results to create a similar experience on all distributions.

Has this issued been settled? We are using the dmd compiler on CentOS 6. I have a custom plplot.d file that I want to put somewhere under our shared /usr/local for our programmers to use. If I want to follow some sort of precedent then it looks like my choices are:

  /usr/local/include/dmd   (similar to dmd rpm)
  /usr/local/include
  /usr/local/include/d
  /usr/local/include/dlang
  /usr/local/src
  /usr/local/src/d
  /usr/local/src/dlang

I personally prefer:

  /usr/local/src/d

but would like to go with some sort of convention if one is starting to gel.

Please don't say use dub and leave it up to each individual developer. I haven't been able to get dub to work on CentOS 6, and just getting D in use here is enough of an effort without introducing package management tools.

I'm interested in this topic, too. Has there been a conclusion as to distributions should install includes and libraries of different compilers (and versions), which sonames to use, etc?
