Could we get a symlink or something to the latest dmd release (one for
d1 and one for d2) on the Digital Mars FTP?

I'm currently using this shell script inside the D for Xcode installer
(change the regex for DMD 1):

# Find latest version on download page
DMD_FILE_REGEX='dmd.2.(\d+).zip'
DMD_ARCHIVE_NAME=$(curl --fail
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/download.html -s | perl -e '
$filename = "";
$vers = 0;
while (<>) {
if (/\bhttp:\/\/ftp\.digitalmars\.com\/('$DMD_FILE_REGEX')\b/) {
if ($2 > $vers) {
$vers = $2; $filename = $1;
}
}
}
print "$filename";
');
if [ $? != 0 ] || [ "$DMD_ARCHIVE_NAME" == "" ]
then
echo "Error retrieving current DMD version."
exit -1
fi

# Source URL / Destination Dir
DMD_URL="http://ftp.digitalmars.com/$DMD_ARCHIVE_NAME";

I would hope to not have to use a "hack" like this. But thanks anyway.
