Genuine question, not sarcasm: What would the Windows-hosted ssh be
needed for? Maybe there's another way to achieve the same effect, like
running an SFTP server on the linux side?
I'd love ssh access to a Windows host. The best scenarion for building
the installer is to start from a Unix machine (which has all those
command-line tools) and ssh into Windows for carrying the build.
The problem is it's getting ridiculously bloated. On every system I put
DMD in, I have to extract around 100MB of irrelevant binaries, just to
then go and delete them (!) or else accumulate 1GB of junk per 10 DMDs.
On top of all that, it significantly increases both download and
extraction times.
The problem I don't understand is what's so wrong or problematic with
having the packaging scripts just generate separate OS archives
instead of separate OS directories within one archive.
I agree this is a ridiculous situation.
