Official PPA for dmd

I'm happy to see an official .DEB for installing DMD! Could we please host this in a PPA, to make it easier for Debian/Ubuntu users to install? This would make dmd play nicer with automated provisioning sytems like Chef/Puppet, and pave the way for dmd making it into the official Ubuntu repositories one day.

It's not a PPA but Jordi's D-apt is useful. http://d-apt.sourceforge.net/

Yes it is, thank you! ...could we turn that into a full PPA?

I prefer the current system. It is easier than configuring a PPA and the .deb packages are official if you download them from dlang.org. I don't easily trust a PPA. It's also not the kind of upgrade I want to happen automatically.

You don't have to use ppa's, but many Deb/untu users like them.

What does a PPA provide that D-apt doesn't? D-apt is a line in my
sources.list file (*) and aptitude (**) works fine with it for all
updates provided by "the system".


(*) for approx reasons I do not use the sources.list.d stuff.

(**) apt-get is second rate compared to aptitude.

That's unfortunate. Anyone know why?

Hello, Could a package for dvm be added to d-apt repository? It is simple, but will allow automatic updates with everything else that is D-related. See this message: http://forum.dlang.org/post/lu6bcg$306u$1@digitalmars.com Thanks. PS Is it me, or dmd-bin is not yet upgraded to 2.066?

It is simple, but will allow automatic updates with everything else that is D-related. Ok, I'll create new deb package for dvm. Should this package be incompatible with dmd-bin? > PS Is it me, or dmd-bin is not yet upgraded to 2.066? Yes, that's correct. I juts wait for next dmd v2.067 to avoid all the 2.066 regressions. -- Jordi Sayol
