Here is my RPM spec: http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/gdc.spec
This new version has quite a few options to choose from ?

Unlike the DMD RPM, the Phobos library is included in main.
It also builds C and C++ packages, as a "side effect" to D.


When GDC gets a new home, we can host binary RPMS there.
(at least for the major distros, and the source SRPMS ?)

I'm doing Mac packages at http://gdcmac.sourceforge.net/
and there's been talk about providing MinGW packages too.

PS. I've been using this package spec since 0.10 or so...

     The spec has change a bit over time, but been useful.
