you can package relative links in rpm.

I just tried to compile dmd and it failed because the header file irstate.h was missing.  After retrieving it from git, the compile went through, so it's probably the only file missing.  I think the zip needs to be updated.

Yes please, this is holding me back from updating the Gentoo package for dmd 2.063. (Unless I want to add that missing file as a patch.)

Why not use git tag instead?

The license doesn't allow redistribution of dmd, probably in order to have a download statistic. I don't want to circumvent that by creating my own .zip file or using an auto-generated archive. (Although I wouldn't mind getting rid of the pre-built binaries. :) )

The reason for this is the unfortunate backend licensing situation. Download statistics have nothing to do with that.
