Nice to see 2.060 out, good job everyone involved. A few quick questions, if I may: There is an Ubuntu deb, but it isn't clear which version of Ubuntu the deb is for. Unless everything in the deb is self-contained and statically linked, this could be a problem. There is no Debian or Mint deb, is this just lack of resources or decision not to support anything other than Ubuntu? There is a Fedora RPM, but it isn't clear which version of Fedora the RPM is for. Unless everything in the RPM is self-contained and statically linked, this could be a problem. Currently I am downloading and installing the zip file but it would be nice to switch to using debs on my Debian Unstable. NB The MacOSX DMG link on http://dlang.org/download.html for 1.060 is a 404. --=20 Russel. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder ekiga.n= et 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: russel winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
