I cannot find a way to get std.net.curl to work with Ubuntu
18.04. Details can be found here:
https://forum.dlang.org/thread/bug-1864...@https.issues.dlang.org%2F
but that only lets you install the package without having a
broken package management system. It resolves nothing wrt
actually being able to use curl, which is part of the standard
library, and should be expected to work.
I tried using the install script, but that leads to this bug
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18808
which was filed more than a month ago and still hasn't received
a response.
This experiment with having a new release every couple of weeks
was fun, but can we please be realistic about our resources,
and move to a sensible schedule. D is simply not an option in
situations that require reliability. And all the various
deprecations and language changes that are inserted in these
high-frequency releases (changes of arbitrary size can come
with little warning in *any* release) make it that much more
difficult.
The bug you referenced has long been fixed and is part of 2.080.0
Please do report a bug with instructions on how to reproduce if
you are still experiencing problems.
How else can we be able to help you?
Also this has nothing to do with the release model, but with
Ubuntu throwing out new releases that break a ton of things. So
on the contrary if we wouldn't have such a frequent release
process, the bug wouldn't have been fixed and released.
