This is been done since more than a year now for the ~50 most 
popular packages: https://buildkite.com/dlang


In my opinion this is one of the main reasons why the last 
releases were so successful (=almost no regressions).


That's awesome. This is the way to go.  Congrats to everyone 
who helped pull this off.

Agreed! This is a really nice bit of work that's come out of the 
D ecosystem.

Great! Keep 'em coming!

Hi all, I am very happy to be the first to announce this here:

1500 D packages available via DUB at code.dlang.org !


Great!

Now as the pure volume of solutions gets more and more 
impressive,

we have to find better ways to enhance quality and stability.

The "Score" indicator is a very good step.
A field, probably at first just manually set by the owner, 
giving latest tested dmd version might give a good way to 
filter for well maintained packages.


My second wish is to start a general effort to adopt several 
packages by D Foundation to ensure they keep updated.


What was the word on the autotester (or similar) testing popular 
packages as part of the test suite?

Okay, it just happened for me, too. I've reported it. I'd 
still like to know if it's happening for everyone in the 
donation campaigns or if it's just certain people from certain 
locations. We've had some DConf registrations that went 
through okay, but I've seen no new donations in the other 
campaigns recently.


I tried as well. It happened to me, too.


Thanks. I got an email from them today informing letting me know 
the issue is their top priority at the moment. Fingers crossed 
they solve it soon.

So a big "Thank You", to all the great people building D and its
