Amazing!
Thanks for such a fast update!

Now my small contribution:
Here http://www.gasiba.de/D/install, you can find a small automated instalation
script for DMD under Linux, which I use all the time I download an updated
version of the compiler.
Walter, if you think this is usefull stuff, you might want to put this script
in the digitalmars website.
Feel free to cut my copyright notice and to change the script anyway you want.

Thanks!

Tiago

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.

One thing that I never understood is why you install "dmd" in 
/usr/local/bin, but libphobos.a in /usr/lib ? To me, that is
just assymetrical... :-) (should be: /usr/local/lib, yes ?)

There are some other "unoffical" DMD installation scripts at Wiki4D:
http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?D__Tutorial/InstallingDCompiler
But a DMD tarball, with permissions and UNIX linefeeds, would be useful.


Even better would be an RPM. But only Walter / DM can make and/or
authorize these, since the DMD license prevents redistribution...
(but specfiles and SRPMS are available, should he want to do so?)

http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/dmd.spec (not updated for DMD 139)

Currently it's not able to rebuild Phobos, due to me using GCC 4:
../stlsoft/stlsoft.h:382:4: error: #error GNU C/C++ compilers whose 
major version is not 2 or 3 are not currently supported by the STLSoft 
libraries

I bet Walter would not only accept the following, but be happy as hell 
for the rest of this year:

  - Whenever a new version of DMD is ready, Walter copies DMD.ZIP over 
to his linux machine. Then he just runs `make rpm´ and an RPM is made 
for him!

Neat, eh?

I'm afraid it's a lot more complicated than that, at the moment:

1) Edit .spec file, bump version number
2) Build the rpms, using "rpmbuild -ba"
3) There is no step three, but to upload

Which needs a script given to Walter, so that the users can do

./configure
make
#possibly su
make install

that is, if we want to give him an automatic way of generating the 
non-windows distro. And whether it's .tar.gz or .rpm, a lot of the work 
is the same:

Of course (1) the version number would have to be got from dmd itself, 
the exefiles deleted, a configure script written, a make file written, 
some documentation (for Walter, to use it) (and for the users of this 
package, kind of installing instructions) written. It would then 
rpmbuild (or tar) the whole thing and ftp it to www.digitalmars.com.

We could call it makeMyDay.sh :-)

Good thing that they are still the same 64 bits on PowerPC, I guess ;-)

Barring a code repository, I updated my diffs between the versions:

Shows which changes were made when, for the DMD and GDC compilers...

Mirrors welcome.

Now that you're working on the compiler once again, is there any chance 
of an answer about these any time soon?
