Last week or so Andrei asked me if I can take a look at making a deb file for Walter Bright's D Compiler, since the current distribution format (.zip) is hard to install on Linux.
I have no idea how to make debs, and I have no desire whatsoever to learn, thank you, I would rather spend my time reading the Beer Advocate website. I learned a new phrase, by the way: experienced beer drinker. I think it sounds awesome.
I crafted instead a quick project to generate RPMs for DMD, which then get converted automatically into a deb package via alien (same process I use for ZeroBUGS).
Here it is, enjoy.

Right, note that it's probably not a good idea to link to DMD from here without permission from Walter.
Anders. Thanks for the zealous comment.
FYI, I do have Walter's approval.
