I just want to get some feedback to see if this is a good idea
or no.
I propose adding a new command to dub (`dub dist` or `dub
package`) which will produce a zipped version of the current
package. This zip file can be uploaded to a central repository
(code.dlang.com maybe), and others can use this package in
their `dub.json` file by adding relevant dependency (Behind
the scene, dub will fetch and decompress the package).
A neat feature would be to deploy it using the github releases
feature. There is an API for it:
https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/
Being able to upload program binaries for end users
(non-programmers) to use would be killer.
But definitely those binaries won't be cross-platform! That's why
I think uploading/downloading source code is more robust.
