I have packaged the official D 2.0 compiler, dmd, for FreeBSD ports, including the Phobos 2.0 standard library. As with D 1.0, most of the source is under either the Artistic or Boost or zlib license, but the source for the compiler backend requires permission for redistribution: "The Software is copyrighted and comes with a single user license, and may not be redistributed. If you wish to obtain a redistribution license, please contact Digital Mars." I contacted the author, Walter Bright, and he said it would be okay include dmd 2.0 in ports, as long as it's marked as unofficial and not validated to work well on FreeBSD. I'll ask him what redistribution setup he will allow for this port and post his preferences here. http://hybridsource.org/dmd2.shar.txt
Mr. Bright gave his okay. The port is currently configured to mirror his zip file and to distribute our own source-built FreeBSD binary packages. Since the port is clearly marked as not officially validated, this should be fine. On 11/30/2010 18:48, Walter Bright wrote: > Looks good to me.

Hi Walter, My name is Cy Schubert, a developer at FreeBSD.org (www.FreeBSD.org). I'd like to inform you that I've assigned the task of adding D2 to the FreeBSD ports collection (CVS tree). Before I commit it, I would like to verify that it would be OK to include DMD 2.x in the FreeBSD ports collection. A copy of the PR (problem report) can be found at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi /query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/152698. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@komquats.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org e**(i*pi)+1=0
Hi Ruben, Our best approach to committing this port is to ask portmgr (portmgr@freebsd.org) to repocopy (physically copy) the repository files in the CVS tree from ports/lang/dmd to ports/lang/dmd2, then apply the diff between dmd and dmd2 to dmd2 in the repository thereby historically linking dmd2 back to dmd. I'll submit a PR to portmgr to do the deed after which I'll commit the port. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@komquats.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org e**(i*pi)+1=0
I'm speaking of the ports tree infrastructure files (Makefile, pkg-plist, pkg-descr, and distinfo), not the original source. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@komquats.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org e**(i*pi)+1=0 Cy Schubert writes: > Hi Ruben, > > Our best approach to committing this port is to ask portmgr > (portmgr@freebsd.org) to repocopy (physically copy) the repository files in > the CVS tree from ports/lang/dmd to ports/lang/dmd2, then apply the diff > between dmd and dmd2 to dmd2 in the repository thereby historically linking > dmd2 back to dmd.
