Hello! I'm slowly heading towards Free(PC)BSD (from Linux) and wonder what is the status of dmd2 there? http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/dmd-freebsd.html page speaks only about 32bit dmd1 for fbsd-7.1, while the ports page at FreeBSD site lists 'dmd2-2.051' with the "D 2.0 compiler, not officially validated for FreeBSD" note.=20 What does it mean?

What does it mean?It means that a couple people are using D2 on FreeBSD, by compiling the sources themselves, but I haven't got to making an official release on it yet.

Most everything is platform- independent, but not everything is. A bug was fixed for FreeBSD just the other day where the FreeBSD build of druntime lacked CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and it's been several weeks since any of the Posix builds would have built without it, so obviously it's not getting tested all that much by the core druntime and phobos developers. However, if bugs are reported, we'll obviously fix them. It's just that they're more likely to get through due to a lack of testing and usage of dmd, druntime, and phobos on FreeBSD. - Jonathan M DavisNo. Actually, I like FreeBSD a lot.Cool.

That'll help keep it both building and passing the test suite.
