Arch is fantastic if you're willing to get your hands dirty a bit. It's nowhere near as hard to use as Gentoo is, but it does take a fair but of manual setup and management. I definitely wouldn't call it newbie-friendly. But it's by the easiest distro that I've ever used for having bleeding edge software, and everything is vanilla instead of being screwed with to make distro-specific. So, if you're willing to tinker a bit, it's well worth it IMHO, and for the most part, once it's going, it's not that hard to keep it going, but don't use it if you want something that just works. - Jonathan M Davis

Re: Arch Linux D news digest
I switched to Arch from Kubuntu a few months ago and I'm never looking back. It's definitely not for everyone since setting up is a pain and some favour stability over having the newest, shiny toys. For me, I wanted a distro that has the latest and greatest that I can make as minimal as possible, with a great package management system. And that's Arch. Give it a whirl in a VM and judge for yourself. I was worried for a while about leaving the Ubuntu-derived distros and missing out on packages but Arch seems to have everything I want in the official repositories. In the rare case it doesn't, it's in the AUR and easily installed anyway. To the original poster: thanks and good work! Atila OT: This might be the final straw that takes me over to Arch. How are things over on that side of linux? I've been using ubuntu/lubuntu/fedora/mint on various machines for years but never really tried out the more DIY distros.

I've been using ubuntu/lubuntu/fedora/mint on various machines for years but never really tried out the more DIY distros. I liked it more in pre-systemd epoch, miss that `rc.conf` elegance. It even had ncurses-based installer then! :) Right now the crucial point for me is AUR / PKGBUILD system (and the reason why I wasn't satisfied with any other distro I have tried). Creating own packages is incredibly easy and simple, as well as sharing them with people. It helps to keep system clean if you build own stuff from sources and allows Arch to be the true bleeding edge distro - even if main repository maintainer are slow or reluctant to include some new shiny program, community will do it in AUR anyway. That was the case initially with D2, btw - it has started in AUR. Reading manuals / wiki is pretty much mandatory but I don't think it is a major blocker for a programmer, unless he is completely new to Linux :)

Yes, that does seem to be the case with other packages, I am simply reluctant to make any steps further from upstream until I have carefully studied that domain - and shared library deployment is not something I am very familiar with. It is number one topic on my TODO list. Also Archlinux usually doesn't have devel packages, the headers, libraries and documentation are included in the regular package. It was a subject to hot 30min long debate on clode #archlinux-tu channel, not only my personal decision :) For normal packages difference between dependency environment and development environment is not that important - but for compiled languages it does matter. Pulling in all D development stack for a single application written in D is quite inconvenient for an end user. Done similarly in gcc - stdlib headers are part of gcc package, but libstdc++ has its own. `-devel` packages are rare on Arch, but they do exist.
Re: Arch Linux D news digest
P.S. I have recently found that D has an entry on Arch Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/D_%28programming_language%29 It is quite out of date now and I am quite busy :) But, hey, it is a wiki, any fellow Arch user can go there and edit it! Volunteers are appreciated ;)

Re: Arch Linux D news digest
I should've read this more carefully. Updated my system tonight

That is a long-standing issue. Unfortunately, initial package had
a harmful choice of `dmd` package having a hard dependency on
`libphobos` and changing expectations in that direction hard. I
was not able to think anything better as listing it in optdepends
and providing `dlang-dmd` group. And suggestions are appreciated.

Arch Linux D news digest
Greetings to fellow Arch Linux users - quite a lot of stuff has
happened there recently in relation to D and this should sum it
up.
Some changes may have not been synchronised to all mirrors yet,
so please wait a bit before reporting :)
--
Changes
--
1) After long period of bothering him with package change
proposals previous D maintainer, Sven-Hendrik Haase, decided to
transfer responsibilities for their maintenance to me. After
formal voting I have been added to Trusted User list with
intention to take care of anything D-related in Arch Linux.
2) `gdc` package has been added to the [community]. It uses 4.8.1
branch to match gcc version in Arch repositories. I know this one
is relatively old and hope to fix this one day with Iain's help ;)
3) All D compilers now have common naming/path convention.
Library:
- libphobos.a
- liblphobos.a
- libgphobos.a
Imports:
- /usr/include/dlang/dmd
- /usr/include/dlang/ldc
- /usr/include/dlang/gdc/{gcc-version}
4) Four package groups has been defined: 'dlang', 'dlang-dmd',
'dlang-ldc', 'dlang-gdc'. Those can used as install/remove
targets for pacman to get full development stack.
5) More preparations for shared library support. `libphobos`
package currently contains only libphobos.so (with fixed SONAME)
and is intended to be used as a dependency for user applications.
Static library and import sources are available via
`libphobos-devel`. GDC and LDC currently have only -devel
versions of phobos as they don't seem to provide share one (I
will be happy to add one if I am wrong).
6) `dtools` package now also provides DustMite!

you
will inevitably want to make a tweaked versions of official
packages in AUR.
Official Arch Linux stuff:
[community] bug tracker:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?project=5do=indexswitch=1
packaging script sources:
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/{package-name}
However, I do prefer git/Github for development and exact mirror
can be found here (together with my AUR packages):
https://github.com/Dicebot/Arch-PKGBUILDs
Both accepting pull requests and checking for bug reports there.

Adding new D packages
--
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Trusted_User_Guidelines#The_TU_and_.5Bcommunity.5D.2C_Guidelines_for_Package_Maintenance
:
Only popular packages may enter the repo, as defined by 1%
usage from pkgstats or 10 votes on the AUR.
Yes, that is correct. I have a legitimate reasons to move any D
package from AUR to [community] once it reaches 10 votes.
Please
don't forget to vote! At least tools like `dub` and `dstep`, in
my opinion, are prime candidates for inclusion ;)
If there are any D packages that match that criteria and I have
missed it - please, ping me via pub...@dicebot.lv or on IRC
(Dicebot @ irc.freenode.net)
OT:
This might be the final straw that takes me over to Arch.
How are things over on that side of linux? I've been using
ubuntu/lubuntu/fedora/mint on various machines for years but
never really tried out the more DIY distros.

Some changes may have not been synchronised to all mirrors yet, so please wait a bit before reporting :) Awesome! Please let me know when this is ready to go on reddit etc. Andrei
