Currently, getting D code from github is a multistep process, that isn't
always obvious. I propose the creation of a dget program, which will:
dget https://github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/libevent
download the libevent code and install it in a subdirectory named
libevent. Of course, the url could also be:
dget github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/libevent
since https is assumed, or:
dget D-Programming-Deimos/libevent
since github is assumed. And since Deimos is a known library,
dget libevent
can also be hardwired into dget.
Anyone want to implement such? It ought to be fairly straightforward,
and will be a nice timesaver for a lot of people.
I think it's better to focus on a package manager that will make this
'dget' program obsolete.
