Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve started working on a little experimental package manager <a href="https://github.com/rjmcguire/dip" target="_blank">https://github.com/rjmcguire/dip</a> that works similar to golang&#39;s go command.</div>

<div>I&#39;ve only tested it on linux amd64.</div><div><br></div><div>At the moment the commands that work are (these are examples):</div><div><br></div><div># to fetch a repo using git (only works for <a href="http://github.com" target="_blank">github.com</a> at the mo&#39;), files placed in $DPATH[0]/src/</div>

<div>dip get <a href="http://github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/openssl" target="_blank">github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/openssl</a></div><div><br></div><div># to build</div><div>dip <a href="http://github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/openssl" target="_blank">github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/openssl</a></div>

<div># or from a packages directory:</div><div>dip</div><div><br></div><div># to install in the first path found in DPATH, $DPATH[0]/bin for executables:</div><div>dip -i</div><div># or</div><div>dip install <a href="http://github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/openssl" target="_blank">github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/openssl</a></div>

<div><br></div><div>Program expects a environment variable DPATH to exist, it will tell you:</div><div><div><i>$ dip</i></div><div><i>WARNING DPATH NOT SET, suggest DPATH=&quot;~/d/:/usr/local/d&quot;</i></div></div><div>

<br></div><div>Program assumes dmd is in /usr/local/d/bin/dmd unless you set DROOT to something else such as &quot;/usr/&quot; in which case it will use /usr/bin/dmd.</div><div><br></div><div>Config is in README.md example (excluding ====== lines):</div>

</div><div>=========================================</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>todo:</div><div>* handle dub packages, their dependencies are not fully qualified in package.json so I can&#39;t just load them from the file, if you put qualified dependencies in &quot;dip-dependencies&quot; in package.json it does work.</div>

<div>* support sourceforge etc...</div><div>* most likely I&#39;ll be changing the way config works because it doesn&#39;t look nice in github&#39;s md viewer.</div><div>* check versions of packages and enforce them</div>

<div>* output help</div><div>* Fix bugs :)</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards,</div><div><br></div>
