Right. And I'm definitely keeping an eye on Orb. I just meant that the lack of a D package manager that's already usable (and still living) is the main reason this all keeps getting discussed every so often. > By no means does that mean that you shouldn't work on a > solution, but it's not the case that no one has been working on the > problem - > though it is true that it's been being brought up for far longer than it's > been being worked on. > Yea, I didn't mean that nobody's working on it. Just that, for package management, there isn't really much usable right now, and for build management, there isn't anything that doesn't rely on either makefiles or XML or some non-D dynamic langauge/interpreter, etc.
