There should be a very noticeable "Download Now" button on the page
itself, without having to look at the sidebar. Every time I go to
download DMD, it is always annoying trying to figure out where the link
is. Even more confusing the first time you do it. Ideally, it could
auto-detect your OS and send you to a download link directly for it, but
that starts becoming too dynamic and may be too much effort to detect in
a good way.
Just use DVM to install the latest compiler, then it's only:
"dvm install -l"
https://bitbucket.org/doob/dvm
DVM really should be officially sanctioned and prominently recommended on
d-p-l.org.
I think the only big improvement DVM could really use at this point is a
system-wide installation option that avoids the "edit .bashrc/whatever..."
step on Posix. With just that, I really think it should be the #1
recommended way of obtaining DMD. And installers should be based upon it.
Yeah, system-wide installation would be nice. Just takes some thought to
figure out how it should work together with single-user installations.
