This has been hanging in the back of my mind and it's about dang time I bring it up:
The main reason we've been discussing the creation of a D package manager is because existing package managers are highly OS-specific. So what about 0install?: http://0install.net/ I haven't actually used it yet, but 0install has already gone through great pains to try to be cross-platform, distributed, safe, and overall well-designed. And it already exists. So maybe we're needlessly re-inventing the wheel here? Would it make sense to just use 0install as D's standard package management tool? If not, would it be best to just adapt it to our needs?
