Oh okay, I just misunderstood how the spec file works then. I'll just change it to use the already checked out source and put it into the installer folder [1] then.

Is it possible to make the package version dynamic to match the current git tag somehow? For example by using an environment variable or by passing the version to rpmbuild?

DEB packages are already kindly maintained by Jordi Sayol, so I can leave those out.

I'm not sure what would be a good solution, honestly. My trouble comes from Vibe.d not supporting 64 bit Windows (at least previously) and SIMD not supporting 32 bit Windows, meaning I can't set a global switch in the compiler configuration file either, but I guess the general use of the switch would be to fit the actual architecture and not some silly issue like mine.
I suppose the manual switch will do.

Hopefully the final release candidate has been uploaded. The new RPM package could need some testing:

dub rc5 binaries properly tested on Debian 6.

New rpm package properly tested on Fedora 14, Fedora 18 and OpenSUSE 12.4

Will be a rpm 32-bit version?

Thanks a lot for testing! I'll tag this as a release if nothing else happens until then.

Yes, should be no problem, but I'd like to load that off to the next version together with an outstanding automation issue (the RPM still needs to be uploaded manually in contrast to all the other files) and an improved download page layout.

The 64-bit Tarball for Linux works for me on Debian Unstable. Haven't had chance to test other things yet.

It also works on Fedora 20, but with the:

dub: /lib64/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by
dub)

line. I installed the RPM on Fedora 20 and it it works fine without the above message.

Thanks for the confirmation, I've just uploaded the final packages.

Picked up the new, final release: the RPM works exactly as it should upgrading the rc5 one.
