Big news here ladies and gentlemen, Tangobos now compiles successfully (with minor patch) on 64bit architectures. As a result you will find the tangobos-gdc SVN Release 58 for x86_64 in the repo as well as at http://download.palos.ro/Debian D Packages/.

So now, we have a complete set of packages (the GDC set) for x86_64. How awesome is that?!

ATTENTION: I am *not* saying this is stable. In fact it is very possible that this will generate quite a lot of segfaults but it is a good start. I am *very* curious to see how well it works (if at all) !?…

Enjoy!

Ok so here’s a short update: We now have a new set of packages issued for DMD 1.028, Tango 0.99.6 (Jeff) as well as Tangobos SVN release 58.

A major change is that DMD no longer comes bundled with Phobos; if you want Phobos functionality then install Tangobos (or use the GDC+Phobos packages in the Ubuntu repos - but I don’t recommend that).

Just for convenience here is the article with information about our repository at the Tango website.

Enjoy (and tell me is something is wrong please)!

It was my great pleasure to find (some time ago) that, starting with version 5.3.0, PHP supports namespaces (among many other things). Even more exciting is that starting with version 6 it also supports Unicode natively. How awesome is that!!!

However there is a slight problem: these versions are only snapshots at the present time so there are no binary packages provided for them by our beloved Linux distributions and since I really don’t like messing up my beautiful Ubuntu Hardy installation with (uninstallable) source compilations I couldn’t make use of PHP’s new features. This is where CheckInstall comes in to the rescue…

Edit: There now exists a set of pre-built .deb packages for Debian and Ubuntu here, thanks to Void. (more…)
