How would we go about committing updates to it when this is
done?
Let's say there is a new function in gdi.h added.
You would look for the file:
core/sys/windows/windows/gdi.d
And add the function declaration.
Or if it is a whole new file:
Add: core/sys/windows/windows/newFile.d
Add line: public import core.sys.windows.windows.newFile;
To: core/sys/windows/windows/package.d
Basically the same process as now, except spread out across
more files.
I don't understand - how would an average member of the D
community get into the DMD package on dlang.org in order to
apply these updates?
Get DMD, Druntime and Phobos and build them:
http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD
Make your changes and test.
Contribute your changes back to D using pull requests.
