<div class="moz-text-html" lang="x-western"> Now there is a
v2.065-b1 tag for dmd.<br>
<a href="https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/releases">

This opens a can of questions.<br>
Who created it, why didn't anybody told me (and others) about it,
how was it decided that dmd is beta ready, what's the intent/plan
for the other repos?<br>
Please communicate before doing non-obvious steps so that others
can learn the process too.<br>
<br>
Should we now tag all other repos? Who is feeling responsible for
each repo, e.g. tracks that regressions are fixed and tags the
branch?<br>
<br>
I'm making progress for automatic release building.<br>

I still have to waste a lot of time (rebasing, workarounding...),
because nobody merges my mostly trivial installer pulls.<br>

<br>
Still here is a snapshot release of the 2.065 branches with a few
remaining issues.<br>
- FreeBSD has no dmd.conf<br>
- contains a few spurious .gitignore files<br>
<br>
Things to recheck.<br>
- link.exe is updated to optlink 8.00.15<br>
- OSX dmd binaries are all 64 bit<br>
- Is the increased size only due to the added FreeBSD binaries?<br>
- ??? help appreciated<br>
<br>
I'm working on these but would appreciate help in the form of
monitoring the installer repo.<br>

<br>
I remember that we found the name "beta" inappropriate during the
last release because<br>
there are still open regressions.<br>
Releasing a beta to helpful testers before obvious bugs are fixed
is rude because they will waste<br>
their time to reproduce know issues.<br>
To provide a single fix I can easily build more snapshots (takes
about 20 unattended minutes).<br>
