OK, Who is responsible for code.dlang.org. Every time I tried dub build I end up with nothing, almost everytime it hangs.

This is really annoying. I can offer free VPS for hosting it.

Sönke - see e.g.

https://github.com/dlang/ci/issues/190

BTW interestingly, this one mirror seems to be the most stable one:

https://dub-registry.herokuapp.com

You can build the Dub registry (assuming you can contact code.dlang.org enough to build it), then run it with --mirror=https://code.dlang.org/

It requires categories.json, which is in the root of the git repo. Note that if you use the latest tag, 2.2.0, categories.json is out of date. The categories.json from HEAD works with this tag.

To use it, just alias `dub` to `command dub --registry https://my-registry.example.org`

It depends on mongodb (3.4 should work; 2.6.10, which is the latest in ubuntu 16.04's repos, will *not*) and, by default at least, expects a database named 'vpmreg'. You'll probably want to put up apache or nginx as a reverse proxy to handle ipv4 plus ipv6 (dub-registry is hardcoded to listen on only one address) and SSL.

I'm not sure if this actually works. I set one up at http://dub.ikeran.org; it sucked up 99.3% of my CPU for eight minutes and told me it had an error reading from https://code.dlang.org.

This should be documented in the README.md but isn't. I will augment it with what information I have.

I *think* what happened is: the API gives gzipped data, but dub-registry can't handle gzipped data. I pointed dub.ikeran.org to a file on disk and it managed to load 1274 packages or so.

I'm going to add a cron job to grab and un-gzip data from upstream and call it a day.
