Re: d-apt update

[Jordi Sayol via Digitalmars-d-announce]

New d-apt dmd deb packages released (ver. 2.077.1-0.1)

This release fix these problems:

- Move rdmd from "dmd-tools" to "dmd-compiler"
- Add "dmd-bin (<< 2.077.1-0)" at "Conflicts:" and "Replaces:" fields on 
"dmd-compiler" and "dmd-tools" deb packages, to avoid upgrade conflicts.

Yes, You're right and will be as you say on next dmd release. But will be in 
dmd-compiler rather than in the deprecated dmd-bin.

You're right. I'll fix on next dmd release.

[Jordi Sayol via Digitalmars-d-announce]

d-apt  release dmd v2.077.1

In this release, d-apt splits "dmd-bin" deb package into "dmd-compiler" (the 
command line compiler) and "dmd-tools" (includes: dumpobj, obj2asm, rdmd, 
ddemangle and dustmite).

No, dmd deb packages from dlang and d-apt do not set any d-compiler property. 
Where should it be set?

About the d-apt dub deb package, they're built using binaries from 
 and do not compile anything.

How long will it take from a dub release until dub deb package will be 
available on the Debian stable repositories? And for Ubuntu?

So this is not a dmd deb package issue but Ubuntu 15.10 lintian issue. Please

You can safely install dmd deb package on your Ubuntu system.

d-apt allows to instant update on dmd releases, not on Debian official

Anyway, packaging dmd directly into Debian is not a problem for me, d-apt will 
adapt to the conjuncture, can live together with an official Debian package, 
and if it should disappear, will do.

Push for it!

 Hmm, may wanna check your .bashrc. Unless it's changed since last time I 
 looked, the Posix versions of dvm work by adding code to .bashrc which set up 
 dmd as an alias.
 
 Then again, I'm not sure that should matter if you're manually running dvm
