No, it is not an rdmd bug.
"etc" is a standard D package name reserved for Phobos, the
standard library. It is the same for "std" and "core".
Please, point us directly to a documentation where it says
that this words reserved.
http://dlang.org/phobos/ ?
(you don't expect to casually use package names "std" and
"core" either, do you?)
Why not? If I want to amend the standard library, e.g. for
testing a module that's not yet present in my compiler
version, or for fixing an error? I think it's useful to be
able to override individual modules by placing a copy of them
into your project's directory.
For the record, rdmd handles this particular case just fine.
You can run unit tests on any one Phobos module with "rdmd
-main -unittest module.d". The package exclusion list only
applies to imported modules.
But imported modules are the important case. If I have an
important bugfix in a module, and don't want to wait for the next
release, what am I supposed to do?
I don't know how rdmd works exactly, but AFAICS `dmd -deps`
already outputs the full paths of the imported files,
recursively. Isn't that enough?
