I think there were some sort of forks in the D history. I see Ares/Tango as a fork of the runtime, and LDC has somehow forked the front-end too to fix some bugs. But fortunatelly there are still intentions in the D community to merge the forks. The problem is when Walter is not responsive enough to the merge requests. > I suggest to give patching rights to Don, it can be one more step > forward toward Open Sourcing D development style :-) In future such > right can be given to other few good people that have shown to deserve > enough trust. I agree that having more people with some kind of commit access would improve the situation. -- Leandro Lucarella (AKA luca) http://llucax.com.ar/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind.
