Even gdc...that's great.

Can you explain a bit what resources do you miss to apply it upstream?

OK.

Seeing that D community is alive, at least with dmd, gdc, phobos, we've
decided to try our luck with D and I'd like to help according to my
skills and time constraints to help building its ecosystem.

What would be required to include cmaked2 into official release?

That's nice to hear. Although there are complaints about the tool, it is
obvious that it's capable to build the projects of much bigger size than
we'd ever need. Moreover, Cpack is also very handy and we want to write
multi-platform desktop app, developing on Linux and provide GUI
installers/packages for Windows & Mac OS X.


Sincerely,
Gour
