Indeed.  Next focus should be on completing this, and getting aligned
with the stable branch in upstream DMD.  I think the best way to allow
smooth transition would be to align up headers between the last C++
release and current stable, then make sure that the backend is able to
deal with both versions without any special treatment.

In my time offline, there's already been dozens of fixes I've pull in
to align the headers up.  This may end up in the next increasingly
wrong 2.068 release.  Or perhaps just give it the version 2.068.9¾.

You could also use DMD.conf or some nice, custom file format. We 
have to use the .spec format in GCC/GDC which is quite limited.

I'll revive the mingw target at some point in time. But this 
requires changes in upstream druntime/phobos and as long as gdc 
and upstream are out of sync this requires some extra effort. So 
mingw support will have to wait till GDC is up to date again.

Travis-CI should pick up the new release from now on.


Thanks for updating :)

It's actually all handled by the install.sh script, so you'll 
also get the latest gdc with `curl -fsS 
https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s gdc` and anything else 
using that script, e.g. Travis-CI and the Heroku buildpack.

After some tweaking and playing have finally uploaded Arch Linux
packages for GDC using 6.2.1 gcc base and
https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/GDC/releases/tag/v2.068.2_gcc6

Now also includes new "libpghobos" package providing shared library only
(though I haven't tested this part).

Splendid. I must have missed the change happening.

I can confirm it all does now work fine. Which is great.

Is the DMD distribution the only source of rdmd, or is there a LDC or
GDC version?

IIRC it's not really meant to be customizable. You'll have to edit
libphobos/m4/druntime.m4. To regenerate the configure script you'll
then have to call ./setup-gcc.sh first, cd into the
gcc-x.y.z/libphobos directory and execute:

export AUTOCONF=/opt/autoconf/2.64/bin/autoconf
export ACLOCAL=/usr/bin/aclocal-1.11   
export AUTOM4TE=/opt/autoconf/2.64/bin/autom4te
export AUTOMAKE=/usr/bin/automake-1.11
/opt/autoconf/2.64/bin/autoreconf

The default configuration should build static and shared libraries. The
flags to enable/disable library types are
[--enable|--disable]-[shared|static]

A lot of great stuff! Got few questions when trying to update Arch Linux
package though, could you please advice?

1) There is `gdc_include_dir` variable now, what is intended way to
override it to custom path? `gcc/configure
gdc_include_dir=/usr/include/dlang/gdc` doesn't seem to work

2) As far as I can see phobos is now built as shared library by default.
What flags affect it? I'd like to build either static one, or both at
the same time if possible.
