DInstaller
This is the project that will create an installer/updater in D for D. Currently support is planned to be able to install almost anything based on a xml file that contains information on downloads, locations, names, information and etc. When finished, I will maintain xml files that allow the installation of dmd, dm, Tango, Phobos, DSSS, DDBG, Poseidon, DFL, DWT, and maybe more. I planned GDC support but it has yet to release a 0.25 version and svn builds are all that is compatible with Tango. This is a problem becuase it is hard to get Mingw to bootstrap any compiler (I've done GCC latest before but it took well over a day and at times I had to try over a week to get it to work.) Since it will rely on xml files, it will allow anyone to create a file of downloads for D, meaning maybe I can delegate getting certain parts to work to other people and just add the file. This will all be done after the FTP VFS adapter for Tango is finished (something else I am creating.) I will use DFL (maybe DWT), however this will restrict the installer to windows. I need a good GUI that is easy to use and DWT doesn't fit this since it will make my executables uber large.
The XML File will be very similar if not like the package xml description found:
Package Description
The code can be found in the repository........ updates will be put there every once in a while.
