I've missed all the DUB discussions here and couldn't find the answer to my question in the docs, so here it is, very simple:
I've got an app with one dependency stated in package.json as
	"dependencies": {
		"pegged": "~master"
	}
When I build my app with
dub build --build=release
the app itself gets compiled in release mode, but the library it depends on (in this case Pegged) gets compiled in Debug, so the binary ends up 2-3 times larger than if I build everything myself without DUB.
What is the right way to build everything in release using DUB here?

Looks like a bug. In the meantime you can compile combined.

    $ dub --build=release --combined

I guess this is something very recent, latest binary version from http://code.dlang.org/download doesn't know this word yet.

Error executing command run: Failed to find a package named '--combined'.

Erm. Yes it is. You would have to use dub HEAD.

Never mind, if you don't have the --combined switch it's because
you have a dub version where it is the default.

Hm, which version do you use? The latest releases don't yet support building dependencies separately, so I guess it must be a GIT master version. However, for the latest HEAD, I can't reproduce the issue, so I'd recommend to pull the latest changes in that case. But there will also be a new beta release shortly.
