Alex has done a great deal of fantastic work lately and recently met a major milestone with the completion of Template Parameter Deduction. Although he is currently focusing on his upcoming final exams for school (they have a different academic schedule in Germany than in the US) he has showed an impressive level of dedication and continues to work on Mono-D in his free time between exam preparation sessions. Once he finishes his exams on the 17th he expects to work on Mono-D full time and make significant headway on Expression Evaluation in preparation for Mixin Evaluation. You can follow his progress on his website here: http://mono-d.alexanderbothe.com/ Or on Github here: https://github.com/aBothe/Mono-D Please join me in congratulating Alex on passing his evals and for the excellent work he has been doing! Mono-D is the best IDE for D that works on both Linux and Windows. End of story. Thanks for Alex for all this!

Among those things I have listed, probably the only ones that give a little of troubles are const on methods. The author has used asserts at the beginning of methods, outside a the pre-condition, this is silly. Not using foreach loops on numerical intervals is a waste of fingers and increases the risk of mistakes, final switches often help you, text() is shorter than to!string(), const arguments are usually handy to avoid some troubles and make function/method signatures more informative.

There's a few things we can do to make the async stuff pretty too, thanks to delegates and the sort. And perhaps I can add a concept of a sprite to simplediplay. This represents an XPixmap - distinct from an XImage in that it is on the server - or on Windows, we can probably just us an HBITMAP. These wouldn't offer direct pixel manipulation like simplediplay's current Image (which is an XImage and HBITMAP in implementation) but would be able to avoid transferring a lot of data to the X server. And lastly (optionally, like with terminal.d) tie it into my generic eventloop.d. Then we'll really be cooking with gas! It'll have to wait a while though, hacking on this stuff doesn't make my house payments :( There is already a functional XCB binding somewhere on GitHub.

This person needs to be someone who ensures that the packages are all properly built, the build scripts work, the versions are done right, the git tags are done, etc., and takes pride in it being done to perfection. (Note that because dmd changes constantly, and the operating system targets also change constantly, the package build scripts constantly break.) Eventually, I'd like at least the package builds to be done automatically by Brad's autotester. But someone still needs to make sure it is working properly and keeps working properly.

I hope our release manager, or so-called "build master" will make sure dlang.org provides source tarballs of dmd, phobos, druntime and tools the same or similar way I have them on http://ddn.so/files/ (btw, you can't browse it yet, but you can download files). I use the simple get-files.sh (located in the dmd directory in the dejan- fedora repo) to get those release tarballs from GitHub. Finally, I decided to be little bit adventurous and made the SPEC file generate dmd.conf with -defaultlib=libphobos2.so flag in DFLAGS. Following Fedora package guidelines, I provide static library in the libphobos-static package instead. So far it all works fine. I did not test the i686 packages yet, they should work. :) Kind regards, and I hope you find this useful as much as I do.
Re: Fedora RPMs
Just to clarify one thing - I do not intend to distribute DMD, this work is part of the bugzilla issue regarding curl, plus it is an attempt to make better Fedora/RedHat/CentOS packages. Once it is all on dlang.org maintained by our build-master, I will gladly remove all tarballs from ddn.so , and certainly hope that is going to be really soon! :)

There is a way to actually use GitHub straight, but the directory names
contain SHA1 hashes then, and I would have to store hashes of all 4
projects. Honestly, too much work for me. The way it works now is just
not human friendly. They could really generate {dmd|phobos|druntime|
tools}-2.064.2.tar.gz files, not v2.064.2.tar.gz ... But hey, I can't
change the way GitHub works!

Safest is to install all of them for now. :) I will polish those

I am puzzled by the soname libphobos generates anyway (read my SPEC
comment about it). Libphobos makefile creates ...
I would rather see libphobos.so.2.064.2 instead. If someone wants to
install DMD 1, then we would have something like libphobos.so.1.073.1,
and libphobos.so.1 link to it... I can surely make a libphobos2.so.2.064.2
symbolic link to libphobos2.so.0.64 but quite frankly, that should be
done by the makefile itself, not by the SPEC file.
>

Dustmite is not there simply because makefile does not install it.
Perhaps I should patch the makefile. But hey, this small project is
basically to improve the SPEC file of the DMD installer. Once everything
works I hope installer's SPEC file will be replaced with this one.

I thought I was clear about this. Well, at least for RedHat/CentOS/Fedora/(open)SuSE/Mageia - I do not know about other distributions... Speaking about Fedora, DMD will never get into their official repository. I've spoken to them. Even the RPMFusion guys were sceptical. Reason is simple, every new mirror would need to request permission from Walter to distribute DMD backend. -- http://dejan.lekic.org
Re: dmd 2.065 rc 1
To avoid confusion: It is not Fedora people who are not willing to help. Problem is with mirrors. Imagine personX or companyX decides to become mirror of distribution which has DMD in their official repository. Before they sync Fedora packages, they have to ask permissions of all DMD (and similar) copyright owners for distribution permission. Now Imagine there are hundreds of DMD-like packages in there... Therefore no serious distribution will accept DMD-like package in their repository. -- http://dejan.lekic.org
Re: dmd 2.065 rc 1
I understand that, I'm just asking the people that deal with this to contact me and propose a resolution. I have a feeling it should be vice-versa. They do not care whether DMD is in their repository or not. It is us, the community, who needs this. :) So, we should be us who are in contact with them. Nobody has time for buearucracy, including me. That is why I build my own DMD RPMs. I talked to Fedora devs on IRC for hours, as I am on that channel whenever I am on IRC. When we talked about DMD, nobody came up with any solution.

Re: DMD svn and contract inheritance
LDC2 does not work at all on my 64bit GNU/Linux box, while GDC works without any problems (v2.014). Also D2 applications I wrote work well too. Sure, old version of D2 is supported so many cool features are missing, that is why I hoped some more up-to-date version of GDC will soon be released. D is loosing in popularity these days. Personally, i think one of the major reasons is the stale development of GDC. (Yes I am aware of the LDC project, but it is quite new one, and lacks working D2 support).

You will never satisfy both worlds (simplicity vs flexibility). Both Phobos and Tango have their place in the D community. It is unfortunate many people in the D community fails to see it. Also, it is unfortunate (but very easy to explain) that Tango project started as a complete implementation of the run-time library. We debate this for years on irc:// irc.freenode.org/d and it never ends. I belong to the group that like the way Phobos does things, but unlike some people I think Tango is a brilliant, high-level library. I wish we had druntime when Tango project started, but nothing is lost, I believe Tango2 project will fit nicely on top of druntime, and live long and prosperous life. The reason why I also like Tango (even though I never used it in anything serious) is that it reminds me a lot of Java API which is robust, reach and intuitive. Tango IO is very similar to Java NIO...

Re: [deimos] [tutorial] [rfc] How to set up a git repository to simplify keeping bindings up to date
It is not uncommon that a certain project generates several libraries. Example: ncurses (libcurses, libpanel, libforms) I propose each library has a one-to-one correspondent D module inside the deimos package. All D modules that correspond to C/C++ header files with the same name should reside in subdirectories. So, say we use ncurses for an example. We whould have: # "library" modules /deimos/ncurses.d # -lncurses /deimos/panel.d # -lpanel /deimos/form.d# -lform /deimos/menu.d# -lmenu # these are made by /usr/include/ncurses/*.h --> .d transformation /deimos/ncurses/cursesapp.d /deimos/ncurses/curses.d /deimos/ncurses/cursesp.d /deimos/ncurses/cursslk.d /deimos/ncurses/etip.d /deimos/ncurses/menu.d /deimos/ncurses/ncurses_dll.d /deimos/ncurses/panel.d /deimos/ncurses/term_entry.d /deimos/ncurses/tic.d /deimos/ncurses/cursesf.d /deimos/ncurses/cursesm.d /deimos/ncurses/cursesw.d /deimos/ncurses/eti.d /deimos/ncurses/form.d /deimos/ncurses/nc_tparm.d /deimos/ncurses/ncurses.d /deimos/ncurses/termcap.d /deimos/ncurses/term.d /deimos/ncurses/unctrl.d Another thing to consider is the fact that if I make such hierarchy in my project, I will have to SYMLINK ncurses directory into my deimos/ncurses folder, and also have to symlink all "library" D modules... dmd.conf should contain -I$HOME/include/d/deimos by default. :)

I doubt we will have any serious discussion there that can't be available on our news server. However, based from my LinkedIn experience with other FLOSS groups, it is very much possible that, for an example, job-announcements by some of the future recruiters, are going to be posted on LinkedIn only. You will not expect someone from a recruiting agency to go through various newsgroups and post announcements, do you? :) - I certainly would not.

Everybody is welcome (otherwise I would make the group invite-only), but the idea is to have more professionals there, than just enthusiasts who use D in some toy project... New D users will either become professionals after some time of evaluation and adoption, or they will give up D. I honestly do not think the LinkedIn group needs people who forget D after few weeks of trying. :) It is also misleading when a recruiter sees someone a member of the DDN who never wrote any serious piece of D code.

Unfortunately there is no way to have the latest (alpha) MonoDevelop here at
