A good start I think. The first thing that I think should be fixed is
the naming.
Drake should be called dbuild
Orb should be called dpack
You read the name and you have an idea of what it does - nothing fancy.
"Drake" was probably chosen because it's basically "rake for D" and
possibly because "dake" was already taken. "rake" was most likely chosen
because it's "make" but the makefiles are written in Ruby instead.
I chose "Orbit" as the name of the package manager and named the tool
"Orb". Why? No particular reason, but after that someone mentioned it has
the same theme as (Digital)Mars and Phobos.
Between "Orb" and "Orange" I was thinking you just liked using names based
on round things :)
Hehe. I actually started using names of fruits for my projects (I have
an unreleased library named "lime"), don't really know why I chose Orbit.
