Every time I've done it manually (ie, just a few times) it's worked out
ok.
I think DMD, druntime, and phobos are all stable enough that they
wouldn't
normally break each other unless a bad changeset gets committed or your
versions get too out-of-sync with each other.
As long as it works. When implementing it, just a suggestion: don't pull
in a git library or similar, just download the zip archive containing the
latest sources from github.
I was going to go through tango.sys.Process to use the cmdline git to grab
it. Is there a way to just download a zip from github without going through
git? That would be better, since it wouldn't require the user have git
installed, but I don't know of a way to do that.
You see the big "Downloads" button on every github project? Click on
that, there you can get a link to a zip file containing the sources, URL
for Phobos: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/zipball/master
