The structure of druntime and phobos imports is not perfect. Now we have druntime/import in same directory as phobos import. This cause problems with ddt for eg. Because in ddt it is not allowed to add imports, which are place in directory which is already used as a import directory. So in DDT only phobos imports works as expected, but not the druntime (core...). It would be better if druntime and phobos has been moved to separate directory. Something like: phobos in /usr/include/dlang/dmd/phobos druntime in /usr/include/dlang/dmd/druntime (same as is now) Thanks for report, this is mistake in the install script (those two folders should be merged into one based on reference archive).

[Library Release] dproto
Hello, all-
I'd like to present a library that I've been working on on-and-off for
the last couple of months.
Protocol Buffers are a format produced by Google that acts as an
Interface Description Language for serializable data. Basically, given a
file containing lines like:
message Point {
optional int32 x = 1 [default=166];
required int32 y = 2;
optional string label = 3;
message Coord {
required int32 a = 1;
required int32 b = 2;
}
}
You can get a structure that behaves as:
struct Point {
int x=166;
int y;
string label;
struct Coord {
int a,b;
}
}
What's the benefit? This structure also has some useful methods for
serialization and deserialization to a well-documented format - in
dproto's case, the resulting data can be stored in any ubyte[].
What makes this library special? Unlike the C++/Java/Python compilers
for .proto files, this library does the conversion at compile time using
mixins and string manipulation. All that's needed is to add the file
directories to the string imports, and then:
mixin ProtocolBuffer!point.proto;
Where can you get it?
It's available as a Dub package (dproto), or on Github at
http://github.com/msoucy/dproto
dproto is licensed under the BSD 3-clause license, and I'm definitely
open to suggestions for improvement - currently, a lot of the code was
translated from Java and so there are some things that are quite
unidiomatic.

Re: [Library Release] dproto
This is more of an FYI. I've been using/updating https://github.com/opticron/ProtocolBuffer Boost License And while it doesn't have any helper functions, it can generate source at compile time. Generates D1 code if requested Been using it to walk OSM data for no particular reason https://gist.github.com/JesseKPhillips/6051600
