I think the only big improvement DVM could really use at this point is a
system-wide installation option that avoids the "edit
.bashrc/whatever..."
step on Posix. With just that, I really think it should be the #1
recommended way of obtaining DMD. And installers should be based upon it.
Yeah, system-wide installation would be nice. Just takes some thought to
figure out how it should work together with single-user installations.
What sort of specific potential problems do you see?
The thing is that I haven't thought about it that much. But on top my
head I can think of:
What should happen if dvm is installed system-wide and at the same time
installed in the user's home directory?
* Should it possible to both access the compilers that are installed in
the system-wide installation and the single-user installation
* What happens when the user tries to switch to a compiler that is
installed system-wide but not in the user's home directory
That's what I can think of for now, but there can be other similar
scenarios.
