In the end as long as the D front end, druntime, and phobos get to the LDC
folk so as to create ldc packages for Debian, Fedora, and Homebrew (*), I
don't actually care what sort of pain they have with their workflow. It does
seem though that the barrier has now been raised, it's not just dmd, it all
of dmsd, druntime, phobos and dlang.org as a big bang addition before even
getting to review. I really can't see me doing that. One repository at a
time maybe, but it sounds as though your experience of Reggae and Phobos is
"DMD developers use Make and deal with the pain". Sad.


(*) I've had to switch from MacPorts to Homebrew on my MBP (**), which is
both sad, and interesting. 

(**) OSX really is crap compared to Linux/GNOME, how do people stand it?
