          Issue ID: 19452
           Summary: FreeBSD manual install instructions out of date
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: dlang.org
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: andrew.pennebaker gmail.com

The exact FreeBSD instructions for manually installing dmd no longer match the
contents of the published FreeBSD .tar.xz artifacts.

Really, I would like to see a FreeBSD package built, which reliably performs
this work on behalf of users. Perhaps we could get a pkg working using fpm?
