when you link with libphobos2.so, at program start up it will be looking

What do you suggest? Considering that zip files don't have symlinks in them.

That would actually be a really good reason to not put all of the OS releases
in a single zip file. If they were separated (as a number of people have been
requesting for some time), then the POSIX ones could use tar.gz or tar.bz2 or
whatever to hold it all, and those can hold symlinks.

Ditto.

But zip on linux supports archiving symlinks using the --symlinks option, when unzipping the symlinks are recreated. On windows you'll end up with two dummy files when unzipping the symlinks, i don't know if the way the release zip is generated has any affect on the symlinks in the zip.


Unfortunately, zip on linux does not run on windows, and windows doesn't have an ssh host.

In any case, the various OS releases *do* have their own custom downloads, so I don't really understand that complaint. The Linux one, in any case, needs to build those symlinks, and I don't think it currently does.
