For reasons I can't quite remember, I am having a period of Fedora 19 instead of Debian Unstable. This brings into sharp relief that GDC is not in RPM Fusion. It should be. Ditto DMD and LDC. Not to mention Vibe.d, etc., etc.

Is anyone else interested in getting D technologies into Fedora 19 (and beyond)? Perhaps we should form a cabal and find out how to get stuff into RPM Fusion, and create a build process for all the technologies that automatically includes pushing there?

(Debian Unstable should also be a target, GDC is handled by the GCC folk, the rest isn't there — caveat the http://netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net/project/d-apt repository, but that isn't really the righ way of getting to a wide Debian, Ubuntu and Mint audience.)

AFAIK bioinfornatics did maintain some of those but he has resigned:

It would be great if the build framework for these were in Git or Mercurial repositories so that others could chip in.

DMD gets an rpm as well as a deb, but they are standalone, it would be good to have all the D stuff packaged. Jordi has the D-Apt repository but this needs to be a stepping stone to getting all of them into Debian Unstable.

Likewise we should get all D things rpm packaged into RPM Fusion. If there is ready made technology just needed people to get involved, the effort is less and so more likely to happen. Can bioinformatics be persuaded to get his infrastructure somewhere where others can contribute?
