Thanks for bringing my attention to it, I have disowned both it and dstep-git. Note though that you could take it over anyway if you intend to move it to [community] as a TU - contacting original author is only matter of politeness.

And of course congratulations for becoming a TU! :)

I didn't want to take it over if you still wanted to maintain it

Thanks, and while I have you here, is there any reason why all the dtools programs have 'dtools-' as a prefix?

Some of them have very common names (like "detab") and I was concerned that it may eventually clash with binary name of some other totally unrelated utility from a different package. And for convenience more commonly used / uniquely named ones like rdmd also provide shorter symlink.

So I decided to step up and apply to become a Trusted User, and I got accepted yesterday[1]. So from now on I will be the one who maintains all the D packages (in the [community] repo), and it will be my job to fix them if they break.
