I provided the dmd.spec because I took the opportunity to make 
one as well, but it's not a dependency here. It may be easier to 
install the most recent dmd master using it, because the RPMs for 
DMD are currently generated through these shell scripts:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/tree/master/linux

And I thought you may want to supply it with dub in case people 
are newcomers and want the most recent version.

But the dub x64 RPM that is generated from this dub.spec file 
will be a binary file that depends only on libcurl, it carries a 
dub binary with some requirements and installation paths 
(/usr/bin).

In any case, every time you issue a new dub release, you'll still 
need to generate a x64 DEB, x86 DEB, x64 RPM and x86 RPM file as 
well to distribute it on every linux platform. You should use 
debian 6 and fedora 18, always a couple versions behind, to make 
sure its not built against too recent libraries.

Do you want me to provide something more convenient, or can you 
do with dub.spec files & rpmbuild?
