I would like to announce DDebber.
http://dsource.org/projects/ddebber
This program will generate a .deb package from a Digital Mars zip file. Two
packages are generated, an i386 version and amd64. The amd64 packages does not
contain a 64bit compiler, but depends on the needed 32bit libraries.
I'm interested in feed back as to whether the program works for others. What is
missing unclear from the documentation (I need to clean it up). And if there
are any issues with the package generated.
I'm also interested to hear from those using a Debian based system and don't
install via .deb, what has been stopping you?
Walter,
I have a few things that need to be finished, but what would it take to get
you to use this when you go to publish a new version of dmd? I really want to
split the zip into several packages, what would it take for Digital Mars to
host a repository? If the program could also build packages for
programs/libraries like Descent, would they be hosted on the Official D site?
