D Tools Special Interest Group (SIG)

[Jonas Drewsen]

Hi,

    It seems that every now and then a discussion about build tools or D 
package management pops up in this group. Many people on this list have 
a huge amount of experience and knowledge in this area. Some has even 
created their own tools for D.

Unfortunately this has not yet resulted in a standard set of tools somehow.

This post is an attempt to collect all the know-how and put it in a 
central place. One goal is to use that for forming state-of-the-art 
tools for D possible. Another goal is for several people to join forces 
since many people means a higher chance of keeping the resulting tools 
maintained and improved regularly.

This does not necessarily suggest that an entirely new tool must be 
developed from scratch. Maybe some of the existing ones are best used as 
the base. This will probably be the first thing to determine.

I've create a wikipage that I welcome anyone interested in this area to 
add,modify and correct as they see fit.

Let's see if we can keep the ball rolling on this one :)
