I understand that you've been very busy with getting gdc into
gcc and that there's not much manpower helping you out, but
we're suggesting that you release a binary, even if just a
beta like ldc does, and announce it to help change that
perception. Most people don't read the gdc forum, which is
one of the reasons I've been posting on gdc progress here,
even though I'd never use or contribute to it.
Regardless, there are D devs who'd like to use gdc, so I'm
just trying to help you and them out.
Also, maybe it will be easier to get people to help him if
they know that it's up-to-date.
Why would that change anything?
Most people don't follow gdc development closely. If you say
that there's a newer version available and you'd like help
packaging it, someone might step up. After all, it's much easier
to package the compiler than to keep it up to date, as you've
been doing.
