deserves a bigger mention in the meager documentation.
Dub doesn't install packages. It's not a tool meant for end
users. If you want something installed in the traditional sense
it should go in the system package manager.
Wow, really?
Then what is the fetch command for? I started using dub a
recently (2 months ago) and totally didn't notice that there is
any other purpose of the fetch command. I even installed dcd,
dfmt and dscanner through dub fetch, only to find out these were
older versions which didn't work.
So what is the purpose of dub fetch?
