name: "dedcpu"
authors: "Luis Panadero Guardeño"
targetType: "none"
license: "BSD 3-clause"
description: "DCPU-16 tools"

subPackages:
  - name: "lem1802"
    description: "Visual LEM1802 font editor"
    targetType: "executable"
    targetName: "lem1802"
    excludedSourceFiles:
      - "src/bconv.d"
      - "src/ddis.d"
    libs:
      "gtkd": {"platform": "windows"}
    configurations:
      - name: "nogtk"
        platforms: ["windows"]
      - name: "gtk"
        platforms: ["posix"]
        dependencies:
          "gtk-d:gtkd": {"version": "~>3.2.0"}

One important thing to note is that any valid JSON object is also valid YAML. This would have allowed a much cleaner upgrade path.

I have to argue this point nearly every semester - the courseware for certain courses here (disclaimer: I'm one of the maintainers) is open source and relies on students submitting assignment links into a YAML file.
