Any and all projects with a CMake, Meson, SCons, even Make build be Debian packages. Many Debian packages depend on specific versions of things like GCC runtime or LLVM. The Debian packaging system allows for many versions of libraries to co-exists. Thus supporting multiple versions of Druntime and Phobos is possible. > […] > > I only worry about potential name clashes with Mir (the display > > server) in Ubuntu ^^ > This is going to be a naming problem. Debian has many of these sort of naming clash and usually it is best for the smaller, newer project to accept that they need to choose a non-clashing name. Recent example the Mu editor, but there are many instances of this. D's Mir needs to choose a name that doesn't clash with Canonical's Mir. -- Russel. === Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

This will allow us to package Mir for Debian. At the moment, there is nothing using Mir in Debian (obviously) and nothing using it is planned for packaging, but adding it might be useful still, since it can also - with some limits - be used from non-D code. Looks like that only betterC projects are good enough to become Debian packages. Generally because of the have stable C ABI that does not depend on D compiler version at all. Maybe we can pack Mir Optim, what is the proper way to do it? Its features: * stable betterC API/ABI, C/C++ headers * two times faster then Alglib for multiple (heavy) curve calibration (recent release) * allows to use user specific threads through C API, while free version of Alglib is strictly single thread. I only worry about potential name clashes with Mir (the display server) in Ubuntu ^^ Interesting, say libmir-optim(-dev) (I don't think we will have a lot of betterC packages)

In Ohio, early voting begins 10 October: https://www.sos.state.oh.us/elections/voters/voting-schedule/ Some areas have vote-by-mail as the default. This increases turnout for non-Presidential elections from abysmal to merely shameful. In these areas, you don't need to go to a specific location (though there are ballot drop-off locations if you don't want to trust your ballot in the mail).
Re: [OT] My State is Illegally Preventing Me From Voting In The Upcoming 2018 US Elections
If you're serious then why not request an absentee ballot? Just out of curiosity, how does posting this info here help you in any way?

[OT] My State is Illegally Preventing Me From Voting In The Upcoming 2018 US Elections
I sincerely apologize for the OT, but AFAIK, I don't have anywhere else to post. Please rm/delete/ban/etc... as appropriate, I take full responsibility. This is a (potentially inappropriate) "CYA" (Covering my "A 55") posting, so please delete/rm/ban/etc. as necessary, if applicable. https://semitwist.com/articles/article/view/my-state-is-illegally-preventing-me-from-voting-in-the-upcoming-2018-us-elections I am a 36-year-old, legal resident of Willoughby, Lake County, Ohio, United States. I have been a legal resident of this county for most of my life, and a legal resident of this state for my entire life, since the day I was born (an event which is also documented to have occurred in Willoughby, Lake County, Ohio, United States). I have never been arrested (nor convicted) of a felony, nor a misdemeanor. Yesterday (September 8, 2018), I (along with most of the city) received the following letter in the mail: http://semitwist.com/Ohio_Letter_Front.jpeg http://semitwist.com/Ohio_Letter_Back.jpeg Note six things: 1. As most United States citizens are implicitly aware (though the government assumes NO responsibility to ensure citizens are aware of this), to vote in a United States of America election and have the vote legally *count*, a United States citizen MUST vote on the exact day of elections, from the exact location determined to be the correct voting location for said citizen. This correct voting location is determined based on the citizen's address of residence (ie, the mailing address where they live). Or at least, this is my best understanding based on what I've been told as a natural born citizen of the United States. If there is any inaccuracy, it has never been communicated to me either directly, nor through any school I have ever attended, nor any mail I have ever received, nor anyone I have ever had any contact with. 2. The exception to #1 is by voting through an absentee ballot (which comes with its own additional set of regulations and conditions which will invalidate the ballot). 3. I have NOT received any other correspondence, besides this exact letter, which gives me any information regarding the correct location to vote nor how to find the correct location to vote. 4. The letter does NOT tell me where I am supposed to go to vote. Instead, it tells me to use the website "www.myohiovote.com" to find out where I am supposed to go to vote. 5. If you go to "www.myohiovote.com" (with JavaScript enabled), it redirects to "https://www.sos.state.oh.us/elections/voters/"; 6. The current Ohio Secretary of State is Jon Husted (Republican): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Husted Here's the clincher: On said website, "www.myohiovote.com" (ie, "https://www.sos.state.oh.us/elections/voters/";), via the one and only link to "Find My Polling Location", if you select my county (Lake County) and provide my address[1], the only response the [clearly badly-designed] website provides is "Based upon the data input, no records have been found. Please modify your search criteria." [1] The official street name is precisely "Smugglers Cove" (That's correct, no apostrophe. And yes, the street name is unintentionally hilarious.) For privacy purposes, I obviously won't provide the exact house number, but given basic Internet map searching abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to come up with a valid four-digit house number beginning with "3". I have already informed both the website and the Secretary of the State's office (via both email and via the website itself, via https://www.sos.state.oh.us/secretary-husted-office/contact-our-office/contact-us-agency/) of this problem. We'll see what, if anything, comes of it. I will update as I receive any information.
