- How to make a nice transition for people who follow git HEAD (whose
setups will inevitably fail once the above PR gets pulled, since it
will likely be unable to find a working D compiler in order to build
itself);
- Providing clear instructions on how to build a self-hosting compiler;
Install appropriate dmd release. Set HOST_DC to point to it. Run makefile
as usual.
- Providing working dmd binaries from which may be used to bootstrap
the process of building dmd;
The release zips are the source of working D compilers. There is no work
that needs to be done here.
- Decide on policy on how many previous releases the current codebase
must be buildable on (currently, it's just the previous release, as I
understand it);
It will be at least the current HEAD and previous release.
