Exactly a year ago I created a poll[1] about the include path and 65% voted for "dlang" over just "d". We should stick to "/usr/include/dlang" now for a consistent experience across distributions. Compilers' import paths are less of an issue as they are either built-in or configured in dmd.conf. But for build tools it would be nice if imports for library X could always be found in "/usr/include/dlang/X/".
Fair enough, although if the issue with different compilers making a different ABI persists, then wouldn't it be a good idea to put it into /usr/include/{dmd,gdc,ldc} or something?
But otherwise I pinged some people on openSUSE and it seems there is some interest in D, so now we have a separate project for it. Maintaining a separate libphobos2 doesn't look very hard after all.
Though I'm still a bit unsure about the whole druntime part. The official RPM doesn't include any libraries for druntime, only includes, albeit building it from source does produce a druntime library. Is it worth separating it out into its own package? Or should it be part of dmd-devel instead? (druntime-devel doesn't really sound right if there is no actual druntime package itself...)
