Thanks a lot ... but thats a little late for me :) as someone already might have added my library and was looking forward on using it.

Kind regards, We have specific directives based on os, I had an idea that you could say something like: But it still tries to find this package even on non-windows OSes, so that doesn't work. This still wouldn't prevent you from adding the dependency on your non-supported OS in the first place, but I'm not sure that's a good UX, since someone might add a dependency for a specific OS, even when not on that OS. You could possibly create little stub packages for all OSes to be excluded, like I think your best bet is to version the whole library out, and let them read the static assert message from compiling against your library. -Steve | |||

 Posted in reply to Steven Schveighoffer | Alternatively we could just extend platforms to work in places other than configurations. https://dub.pm/package-format-json.html#configuration-settings | |||

Platform specific settings are supported through the use of field name suffixes. Suffixes are dash separated list of operating system/architecture/compiler identifiers, as defined in the D language reference, but converted to lower case. The order of these suffixes is os-architecture-compiler, where any of these parts can be left off. Additionally on Windows the architectures x86_omf and x86_mscoff can be used with dmd to differentiate between 32 bit object formats used with the --arch switch.
