Btw. the LZMA SDK is public domain and could be integrated into phobos just as convenient as std.zip, right ?

Andrei, the only reason he's running into problems is because in the rpm script there is the line

Requires:       gcc(x86-32)

which requires gcc to be 32 bit. I've been running dmd with 64 bit gcc on fedora for years without problems. Change the line to

Requires:       gcc

and it will work fine.

Ha, good tip. Thanks!

Mac OS X applications mostly use UTIs. For files, the Uniform Type Identifier is determined by the file extension primarily, but can also be affected the executable bit being present and as a fallback by the older OSType metadata legacy from classic Mac OS. The UTI itself isn't stored with the file, it is determined on demand.

UTIs are also used to represent various data types in other parts of the system, notably for copy-paste and drag and drop, and files received from the Internet where the MIME type is mapped to a UTI.
