I've been trying to get my head around DUB for a long time. And
that is even after buying D Web Development and your Learning D.
I would be very interested in providing feedback. I believe it
would be very helpful to provide comprehensive "walk throughs" of
the most useful and important scenarios. Include windows and
Linux since their path layouts differ. Maybe even seed DUB's D
Package Registry with a little tutorial package that could be
used them.
And also throw in some definitions: what is actually meant by
"cache", local, dependencies (is this imported source files or
libraries needed during linking, or something else)
For instance, I installed DUB and some packages on a laptop
(running Linux) about a week ago and then left it alone. I'm now
back in a terminal and it's like I've completely forgotten
everything: I see the directories under ~/.dub but I can't seem
to get dub list, dub fetch, or dub run to work?
Anyway, sorry to ramble. Thank you for Handbook.
