If we plan to extend DUB registry file format and the like this may be premature. But I like the initiative.

Perhaps making use of Bintray would be a better route.

I suspect hosting D-Apt on Bintray would also be possible.

I wonder if creating a Fedora RPM package repository analogous to D-Apt on Bintray would be feasible.

If I understand correctly, Bintray == JFrog Artifactory. Yes it
would be also nice if dub support is added to both solutions.
If JFrog accepts PR on Github we could even add dub support
on ourselfs.

One side information. I also created a pr for dub to support maven repositories
as dub registries. https://github.com/dlang/dub/pull/1415
With this pull request we can use many repository solutions (Nexus, Artifactory, ...)
as dub registries.

Kind regards
André

JFrog have Artifactory yes, but I do not know if Bintray is actually something different or just a public instance of Artifactory. In any event Bintray is a public repository of stuff, with JCenter being the bit for Maven type artefacts – most of the people I know publish to Maven Central via JCenter so as to avoid Sonatype's Nexus.

I believe Maven is the wrong model for D, it is all about artefacts for
use in JVM-based language builds. Conan (C/C++ repository) is a much
better model for D, as is crates.io (Rust/Cargo repository), and indeed
Dub :-).

I don't feel it is a hard one or the other decision but possibilities.
In this direction Sönke made a very good proposal how to support different repositories using the existing registry attribute.

Kind regards
