Hey, wait ... are you still using DSSS 0.2?  DSSS 0.3 (and later) use HTTP, so it shouldn't be trying to check out /projects/dsss/sources at all ...

DSSS is still sort of coming together, so old versions won't actually work - I think the current system for acquiring sources.list is good though, so I don't think that component will change post-0.3.

As per the mirror username/password, I'm trying to work that out with the guy who's hosting the mirror, it's not supposed to work like that (of course).

Not a problem, but no it doesn't: "ld - Mach object file link editor"

The other problem is easier to fix, just run ranlib on the static lib.

I've tried to grab mango:
$ dsss net install mango
[...]
[...]
[...]
mango/containers => DD-mango-containers
[...]
mango/sys/Atomic.di(38): version X86_not_GNU declaration must be at module
level

Code:
// this ASM code doesn't work on GDC
version (X86) {
    version (GNU) {} else {
        version = X86_not_GNU;
    }
}

What to do with that?

Where to report such errors? http://www.dsource.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2025 ?


Little polishing, little more packages, little more examples and DSSS is going to be D's rocket to stars. Before DSSS I was to lazy to try out so many D useful packages. Now - when all of them may be installed automagically - everything changes. And depending on 3rd party D libs wouldn't be a problem anymore. End user of my software will just install dsss and does not have to worry about anything.

Agreed. "My Computer", "My Pictures", "My Documents" are classic examples of condescending, patronising, unprofessional software. Plus they have those annoying spaces in their names. <g>

I've made some changes and I think it should be less of an issue now - may still need to add ranlib support to the internal bu[il]d. Anyway, I will probably release DSSS 0.4 (much later) today or tomorrow, and it should have Mac support.

Actually, that was my fault - I added a patch to Mango to make it work with GDC, and it looks like it broke on DMD ...

Try it now, I believe it should be working.

That is easily among my top five greatest irritations with Windows. Though I think they are changing it in Vista.
