It's useful for people who work on dmd and want to either download anew 
or freshen their repositories.

Comments and ideas are welcome.

Thanks for looking into this, Jordi. Looks like the issue is this: git clone git github.com:D-Programming-Language/dmd.git Do you have a github account set up that would let you run the command above? If not, I wonder how the situation can be detected and what instructions to give the user. Andrei

IMHO, if you're building from source, you might as well take the time to setup a github account. Otherwise, what's the point? Might as well grab the release binaries.

Note that the line shown is using pulling as the D-Programming-Language organization, so only members there will have such access. You could use the read only version: git://github.com/D-Programming-Language/tools.git I might suggest using: git clone -o upstream git://github.com/D-Programming-Language/tools.git for cloning a new repository. This would allow developers to add their fork of the repository as origin (Default remote name). So now the update script would have to pull from upstream instead of origin to do the update...

With that change it is likely you'll want to change update to use upstream instead of origin. Though it is probably dependent on if the user has upstream which I don't know of a good way to check. Or you could just require those to have an upstream. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/tools/blob/c5c61a67b7f043f8127d3bf92c98d19a30d6b06d/update.sh#L136 You can add the remote to your repository with git remote add upstream git github.com:D-Programming-Language/dmd.git

Sorry, I meant that you could add the remote repository "upstream" to your personal git repository, the one you, Andrei cloned on your system. The change I am suggesting is to change line 136 and 137 so that - git pull origin master && \ - git pull origin master --tags && \ + git pull upstream master --tags && \ just noticed you are pulling twice, when you can do it once.

It's a simple 200 lines script that does something that someone working on dmd etc. needs. I just looked over DVM (on https://bitbucket.org/doob/dvm/wiki/Home). It's a large program, has a large list of dependencies, is largely undocumented (I'm unclear even to what extent it does what I need), it seems to do a ton of stuff I don't need, and there's no way it could be justified for inclusion in tools/. It's great that DVM exists for people who need it, but I don't see a competition between it and update.sh. Andrei

Fair enough. And to be honest, DVM doesn't actually do the git checkout just yet (that's planned). But it'll compile it once you have checked out from git (Although I think the recent move of the DMD download page from digitalmars.com to d-p-l.org broke part of it - we admittedly need to fix that.)

I don't mean to say that your tool is bad or that you shouldn't have made it, but the issues you addressed with DVM can be fixed, and really, I've been detecting a bit of NIH coming from your general direction. I've noticed that any time you want something, you go off and do it yourself, and to hell with any part of the community that's been working on anything similar. If you see a problem with the existing options, at the very least you could say something instead of ignoring it and going cowboy-coder, running off undermining anything that doesn't have the official "Championed by Andrei" stamp.

I apologize for the tone, I overreacted. I'm sure you weren't trying to undermine anyone or anything, just posting a potentially helpful tool, like we all try to do. I do think it would be nice for you to give feedback if there's any D tools/libs that are similar to what you want but don't quite fit the bill for one reason or another. But I understand if it wasn't clear that DVM was trying to move in that direction.

As always, constructive feedback is welcome. In this case I don't see a reason to read much into it. The script simply puts together the actions that someone working on dmd need to do needs to type on a regular basis, and parallelizes the slowest parts of it. It's not a "tool" and not pretending to be one - it's a very specific collection of actions. Quite a textbook example of the usefulness of Unix scripting. I wasn't enumerating "issues" that need to be "fixed" with DVM - merely mentioning simple reasons that make DVM and update.sh different enough to not compete. Andrei

So you're referring to the build dependencies. * DSSS - It's possible to build it with rdmd instead. This will remove the dependency on DSSS, I assume rdmd is ok to have as a dependency. * D1 - I plan to port the project to D2 (using Tango) * Mercurial - I plan to move the project go github That changes the dependencies to: * A D2 compiler * Tango * zlib * Git Of those dependencies I guess it's only Tango that would be a blocker. -- /Jacob Carlborg

 A large list of dependencies?? The only runtime dependency is zlib.
That's in the case we want to include it in tools/. Andrei
So you're referring to the build dependencies. * DSSS - It's possible to build it with rdmd instead. This will remove the dependency on DSSS, I assume rdmd is ok to have as a dependency. * D1 - I plan to port the project to D2 (using Tango) * Mercurial - I plan to move the project go github That changes the dependencies to: * A D2 compiler * Tango * zlib * Git Of those dependencies I guess it's only Tango that would be a blocker.
Wouldn't it be weird to have a dependency on Tango when the std lib is Phobos? /Jonas
I haven't said I want to include it in the "tools" repository, that was what Andrei said. -- /Jacob Carlborg
