This is an 'umbrella' project for custom DMD releases, consisting of DMD/Phobos/dub/reggae/ninja submodules and a CI script for building and publishing binary DMD packages similar to the official ones.
The main motivation is enabling releases at arbitrary points in time,
primarily from DMD's stable branch. For instance, if an official
release comes with deal-breaking regressions and needs a fixup for
us to be usable, we can easily release our own version once the fix
has landed upstream.
- Linux x64 only. No bundled 32-bit executables/libs.
- Additionally bundled
reggaetool (like LDC). - Additionally bundled
ninjatool, incl.- symmetryinvestments/ninja#1 for a central shared build artifacts cache
- ninja-build/ninja#2019 for adaptive scheduling,
and symmetryinvestments/ninja#2 to make
scheduling based on previous build times opt-in via
--cp, as it may require huge peak RAM
- No full compiler/druntime/Phobos sources.
- No docs (HTML/man), no samples, just plain
make install. - Different build environment, build options...
git fetchall submodules.- Advance DMD/Phobos submodules to some tag or
stablehead. (They need to be in sync; DMD doesn't have submodules, so the same point in time is the sync reference point.) - Major bump: advance dub/reggae submodules to latest stable versions.
Optionally bump host D compiler in
.gitlab-ci.yml. - Commit changes and open a PR. Download the
dmd2.tar.xzCI artifact for local testing. Merge when happy. - Sync & push a new tag with shape
v2.108.0-sym1. CI creates a GitHub release and uploads the artifact.
