Official PPA for dmd

[Andrew Pennebaker via Digitalmars-d]

I'm happy to see an official .DEB for installing DMD! Could we
please host this in a PPA, to make it easier for Debian/Ubuntu
users to install?

This would make dmd play nicer with automated provisioning sytems
like Chef/Puppet, and pave the way for dmd making it into the
official Ubuntu repositories one day.

It's not a PPA but Jordi's D-apt is useful.

Yes it is, thank you!


...could we turn that into a full PPA?

What does a PPA provide that D-apt doesn't? D-apt is a line in my
sources.list file (*) and aptitude (**) works fine with it for all
updates provided by "the system".


(*) for approx reasons I do not use the sources.list.d stuff.

(**) apt-get is second rate compared to aptitude.

Thanks for volunteering.

I prefer the current system. It is easier than configuring a PPA
and the .deb packages are official if you download them from
dlang.org. I don't easily trust a PPA. It's also not the kind of
upgrade I want to happen automatically.

You don't have to use ppa's, but many Deb/untu users like them.

dmd backend license is not compatible with PPA.

[Andrew Pennebaker via Digitalmars-d]

That's unfortunate. Anyone know why?

Hello,

Could a package for dvm be added to d-apt repository? It is
simple, but will allow automatic updates with everything else
that is D-related.

See this message:

http://forum.dlang.org/post/lu6bcg$306u$1 at digitalmars.com

Thanks.

PS Is it me, or dmd-bin is not yet upgraded to 2.066?

Ok, I'll create new deb package for dvm.

Should this package be incompatible with dmd-bin?

PS Is it me, or dmd-bin is not yet upgraded to 2.066?

Yes, that's correct. I juts wait for next dmd v2.067 to avoid all the 2.066 regressions.

Very wise. Unfortunate, but 2.066 is bad...

Maybe this worths the pain?...

2.067 is quite far ahead...

Thanks
