Yay!

Well, thanks for all your work on it. I've been using your repo for all my D projects, and it has served well.

I will, once the new SCons gets into the main Debian repo. (Or is it
already in?)

Thanks. From now on any D tool related bugs should go to the main SCons issue repository.

Can I get you to switch sooner? I want to actually remove the SCons_D_tooling repository from BitBucket. I believe that cloning the SCons mainline is entirely equivalent as I always kept SCons_D_Tooling up-to-date. An alternative is to clone my SCons repository on Mercurial, which is where I will be putting any future D-related changes.

A new version of SCons will appear in Debian Sid only after a formal release and I am not sure when that will be. There has been quite a lot of activity on SCons recently so mayhap I can activate for a release sooner rather than later.
