Using tilda in the qualifier part of the version is not acceptable. I 
thought I was clear about this. Well, at least for 
RedHat/CentOS/Fedora/(open)SuSE/Mageia - I do not know about other 
distributions...

Speaking about Fedora, DMD will never get into their official repository. 
I've spoken to them. Even the RPMFusion guys were sceptical. Reason is 
simple, every new mirror would need to request permission from Walter to 
distribute DMD backend.
