I suspected it's a one-off kind of thing. Thanks, Don.

(Of course that doesn't diminish the value of being careful about checking in.)

One more thing - at some point while browsing the commits I saw a copyright notice with someone's name. I forgot who it was. It was added as the only named copyright notice on an existing module that didn't previously have one. The way the commit looked, it was as if that one author put his copyright on the entire module, including the existing stuff and his added stuff. In such cases the adder should also add the copyright notices of the previous known contributors to the file (to be found as @author tags, most of the time it's Walter and sometimes it's him and others such as Don, Sean, myself, and others) so we all share the blame.


Thanks,

Andrei

It's great to have so many people contribute to Phobos,
but I've never had such a long streak of non-builds. It looks like new scale of
contribution asks for corresponding responsibility. Please, make sure everything
builds before checking in, and announce to this list if you broke the build and
are unable to fix it without help.

I understand your frustration, but it might be unreasonable to ask people to 
ensure a build occurs properly on all OSes before checking in, this might not 
be practical (disclaimer: I haven't tried building the latest, maybe the build 
doesn't work anywhere :)

This is a build which doesn't work anywhere. In this particular
instance, DMD and Phobos must be synchronized; this always happens
when changes to intrinsics occur.

It's possible to have a successful build, check in your Phobos
changes, but have a DMD change in the meantime which causes it to
break.
