But the _zip_ file isn't. We keep asking for _that_ to be broken up. That's completely separate from whatever is going on with rpms or debs or exe installers. Plenty of people just use the zip file, and they don't want to have to download dmd for every OS it supports. And we are now having issues with symlinks because of the way the zip currently works. If we had a tarball for linux (or FreeBSD or Mac OS X, etc.), then that could trivially have the symlinks be correct, and the rpms and debs colud be correctly generated as well. Clearly, having everything in one zip is causing problems. - Jonathan M Davis
