I'd like to propose a small project suggested by Walter. If anyone could
take this up, it would be great. The project is a small utility program
that could be a good complement to the likes of rdmd.
The program allows you to play with entire D projects as zip files. It
takes a zip file, extracts the files if needed, and builds it. Many
improvements can be easily imagined. I paste below a rudimentary
prototype that I wrote for Linux. It has many shortcomings; don't hold
them against me, I wrote that script in less time than it takes "retard"
to switch from smug to sarcastic.
If anyone would like to take this over, that would be great. Thanks!

#!/usr/bin/env rdmd
// Accepted extensions
auto extensions = [ "d", "di", "a", "o" ];
int main(string[] args) {
// The one and only parameter is the zip file
auto zip = args[1];
if (!exists(zip)) {
stderr.writeln("Zip file missing: `", zip, "'");
stderr.writeln("Usage: dmdz file.zip");
return 1;
}
// Target directory
auto tgt = "/tmp/" ~ zip;
// Binary result is the name of the zip without the .zip
auto bin = replace(zip, ".zip", "");
// Was the zip file already extracted? If not, extract it
if (lastModified(zip) >= lastModified(tgt, d_time.min)) {
system("mkdir --parents " ~ tgt);
system("unzip " ~ zip " -d " tgt ~ " >/dev/null");
}
// Compile all files with accepted extensions
auto find = "find . -type f -false ";
foreach (ext; extensions) {
find ~= " -or -iname '*." ~ ext ~ "'";
}
return system("cd " ~ tgt ~ " && dmd -of" ~ bin ~ " `eval " ~ find
~ "`");
}
