digitalmars.D - Need 'Home Brew' D support for macOS

reply Joel <joelcnz gmail.com> writes:
I think 'Home Brew' is a good way to go for using with D in macOS 
- just put 'brew upgrade dmd' in the terminal, and bobs your 
uncle. One guy was updating it a while ago, but seems to have 
stopped doing so. I did a post in learn forum about it [1].

Without these updates, I'm starting to loose interest in D, and 
I've been using D since back in D1 days. Two of the main programs 
I use every day are D programs that I made.

As aliak pointed out, John usually does it, but doesn't seem to 
have gotten around to it in recent months:

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/commits/master/Formula/dmd.rb

Homebrew and D are community efforts, someone else stepped up 
earlier today:

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/33860

Considering how small that update patch is, maybe you can chip in 
next time if Brew is really important to you?

Yes, my bad, I've been busy. It'll be up to date soon.

Oh, I don't care: I haven't used any Apple products since my G4 
PowerBook died in 2008, a decade ago. :) As long as they go 
around suing people with ridiculous patents, they will never get 
any money from me, no matter how good their products are (same 
with Microsoft):

I'm a bit confused by the dichotomy between "I've used this for 
ages, like and rely on it" and "A minor delay in updates in my 
chosen package manager is making me lose interest", but whatever, 
it's up to date now, `brew upgrade dmd` should get you to 2.083.0

By the way, I'm one of the guys that uses and appreciates dmd on 
homebrew. Thanks for keeping it going!

And for next time if anyone wants to fork homebrew and make the 
necessary changes, here's a quick script to help out:

https://gist.github.com/aliak00/bc878cf9e24be75776c55d60e8758f38

I *think* that should work as long as formats stay the same...

Cheers,

Thanks for that, I'd been meaning to write something similar but 
never got around to it.

Now, if it could remove and add devel versions....
