To me, this strongly suggests the following idea:
- add *all* dlang.org packages to our current autotester / CI
infrastructure.
- if a particular (version of a) package builds successfully, log the
compiler version / git hash / package version to a database and add
a note to dlang.org that this package built successfully with this
compiler version.
- if a particular (version of a) package fails to build for whatever
reason, log the failure and have a bot add a note to dlang.org that
this package does NOT build with that compiler version.
- possibly add the package to a blacklist for this compiler version
so that we don't consume too many resources on outdated packages
that no longer build.
- periodically update dlang.org (by bot) to indicate the last known
compiler version that successfully built this package.
- in the search results, give preference to packages that built
successfully with the latest official release.
This should help clear up these incidents with outdated packages.
