Druntime

Other

automate release builds

  • Nick Sabalausky wrote a release tool.
  • Brad Roberts added install targets to the makefiles (dmd, druntime and phobos).
  • Nightly builds from the autotesters
  • Reusing existing makefiles is preferred
  • Package scripts must build from source (see Issue 10710)
  • Dejan Lekic made a Fedora SPEC file
  • Multi-arch cross-compiler should be optional (more dependencies/bigger size for rarely needed feature)
