I don't think make clean deletes dmd2.067.1. It does instruct you to do
so if you so want.
Just for clarity, I'm talking about the auto-downloaded executable, not the git
clones of the stable version to ../dmd-2.067 etc. In other words right after
the make command is issued, this gets run:
$ make -j2 -f posix.mak LATEST=2.067.1 phobos-prerelease
mkdir -p .generated/
echo "LATEST=2.067.1" >.generated/2.067.1.ddoc
mkdir -p /tmp/.stable_dmd-2.067.1
TMPFILE=$(mktemp deleteme.XXXXXXXX) && curl -fsSL
http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2.x/2.067.1/dmd.2.067.1.linux.zip >
${TMPFILE}.zip && \
unzip -qd /tmp/.stable_dmd-2.067.1 ${TMPFILE}.zip && rm
${TMPFILE}.zip
Anyway, I believe you're right that this temporary download doesn't get cleaned
up by "make clean" but I believe it can get lost through cleanup of the /tmp dir
without any user intent.
I'm just trying a general "make -f posix.mak" build (which will recreate the
clones of stable dmd etc.) and will see if this allows avoiding the curl
download of prebuilt dmd.
There's no surprise that things we didn't focus much effort don't work well.
That said, I'm not sure what's happening there - things should have worked;
phobos-prerelease doesn't require the legacy stuff. Should be reported as a bug.
Perhaps it's dub that insists on a specific version. Could you please try "make
-f posix.mak html" while disconnected and see if that goes through?
I'll give it a go. Will report back on results.
