Doesn't DVM do this? It doesn't package stuff like we need for a release, but if you need to build a specific version of all 3 repos (including the latest), DVM should do the job - at least as I understand it. I've never actually used it. https://bitbucket.org/doob/dvm/wiki/Home - Jonathan M Davis _______________________________________________ dmd-beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/dmd-beta
