The following reply was made to PR ports/152282; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Ruben <chromium@hybridsource.org> To: Walter Bright <newshound2@digitalmars.com>, bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: ports/152282: New port: lang/dmd Official compiler for D language Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2010 22:44:54 +0000 Hello Mr. Bright, as we discussed previously, I have packaged up dmd for FreeBSD ports. You can view the results here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=152282 I am also sending this email to that public thread using the bug-followup@ email and I ask that you do the same with your response. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe no permission should be necessary to include dmd in ports, since we merely link to your software and provide an easier way to install it. However, we usually also mirror and/or redistribute software included in ports, so we will need your permission for that. Specifically, 1. Is it okay to redistribute your zip file containing the dmd source and binaries, either through a mirror or on a paid FreeBSD CD? 2. Is it okay to distribute our own FreeBSD binary packages built from your dmd source, either through a mirror or on a paid FreeBSD CD? At the very least, it would be nice to be able to mirror the zip file online, so that people can reach it if your site goes down or if they only use freebsd.org domains to download ports. Please let me know how I should set it up. btw, I had one issue when compiling Phobos, I had to take the zlib/gzio.o entry out of freebsd.mak, looks like an oversight from when it was removed from the latest zlib update.
