Attached is a Debian packaging structure for the current distribution of DMD.

Uncompressing it into the "dmd" directory and then running the standard Debian
package building tools against it (dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot) will result in
redistributable and cleanly installable/uninstallable Debian packages.

DMD's license states I cannot redistribute my packages, so I hope that people
who are interested can take this and use it. I know I held back from using D
because there wasn't a clean install method for my operating system.

I fully authorize this package being integrated into the main DMD distribution,
if Walter wants to do that.

I am not an active reader of the D newsgroup, so I won't see any responses
unless they are e-mailed to me.

FWIW:
I have D installed on a Debian system via the released form, but a 
*.deb install would have been a lot easier.  OTOH, I tend to run 
from the testing tree, not the unstable tree, so I'm not sure I 
would have seen it even if it had been on the main Debian site.

Probably for a language in the current state of D (rapid 
development, no stable release) the best choice is either the 
current approach or to set up a location from which *.deb files and 
be downloaded.  For D the best choice would probably be an install 
script.  (FWIW, I installed D most recently under /usr/local/dmd.) 
The install script could handle such things as ensuing that the 
install directory was in the path, that the binaries were marked 
executable, and that phobos.a was copied to /usr/lib/phobos.a.  I 
have at times forgotten each of those steps.

I'm not an official Debian developer. As such, I cannot add my DMD package
to the main distribution.

This package works in the sense of a install script - for Debian users.

1) cd dmd
2) tar -zxf ~/<path>/dmd-debian.tar.gz
3) dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
4) dpkg -i ../dmd_0.73-1_i386.deb

DMD is now properly placed within your Debian file system, available to
all users, and easily removed.

I would offer an apt source, but the license included with DMD explicitly
prohibits doing anything like that.

Scott.
