Having now got some bits of libdvbv5 usable from D with aid of DStep –
which let's be honest did 90.357% (roughly) of the work – thoughts turn
to maintenance and distribution. So a few questions/comments:
1. Is Deimos "alive and well" as a place to host the current state of a
D adaptor library,
No, I would avoid Deimos.
or is it best to just have a repository somewhere:
Git/GitHub, Git/BitBucket, Mercurial/BitBucket, Bazaar/Launchpad.
Yes, GitHub to make it accessible to Dub.
2. There needs to be an idiomatic process for updating DStep generated
but manually amended libraries using DStep.
DStep has a flag to ignore translating the specified symbols. If you
specify that flag for the symbols you need to translate manually. would
that be an ok workflow?
3. I take it as given this needs to be in the Dub repository, is this
fair?
Yes. If think there's specific category in Dub for bindings to C
libraries [1].
4. DStep is great.
Thanks :)
