Should we add links to Mono-D and DDT aswell?
I think so.
Ok, will add these. Bruno and Alex, is it ok for you? What
are the appropriate links? Are there any direct download
links?
One little problem. MonoDevelop isn't always up to date on
various repos. Because of this, Alexander builds his own
version. This precompiled package is hosted at my server.
While I don't reboot it very often, it is perhaps not the best
place to store this if it's "part" of D by being placed on the
homepage. I would recommend hosting the MonoDevelop build as
well so no user comes complaining if my server is down.
I actually think Mono-D must chose one long term support
MonoDevelop version before being officially endorsed. Currently
I am not aware of a single distro where it will work out of the
box with stock MonoDevelop and forcing people to use that blob
or compile from sources does not really smell good. I know this
is much stress on Alex but simply don't see other way around.
The problem as I understand it is that distros pack different
versions of MD, and MD keeps changing it's API for every release.
In other words - there is no long-term support. Mono-D needs to
either support the latest and greatest and prepare a MD release
each time the API changes, or try to support as many API versions
as possible. I think the latter is problematic.
