--- Comment #1 from Vladimir Panteleev <dlang-bugzilla at thecybershadow.net> ---
FWIW, we do run the rdmd test suite via Travis (see
https://github.com/dlang/tools/blob/master/travis.sh), but this only runs for
PRs against the tools repository. We need to run the tests against PRs to all
repositories to catch such issues effectively.

We also have a daily cron job configured on Travis, so we can now at least be
informed of such breakages shortly after they happen.

Integrating the test into the auto-tester would be nice, however it currently
doesn't test the tools repo at all. What might be more likely to happen instead
is that I expand DAutoTest to also run the tools repository tests.
