Hi,

From one week this program runs at midnight at my pc:

import tango.io.Stdout;
import tango.sys.Process;
import tango.time.WallClock;
import tango.text.convert.Format;
import tango.io.FileConduit;

int main(char[][] args)
{
auto fields = WallClock.toDate;
char[] pkgversion = Format.convert(“{:D4}{:D2}{:D2}”, fields.date.year, fields.date.month, fields.date.day);

auto p = new Process(“bash -c “rm -fr ldc-hg*””, null);
p.execute;
p.wait;
p = new Process(“hg clone http://hg.dsource.org/projects/ldc ldc”, null);
p.execute;
p.wait();
p = new Process(“rm -fr ldc/.hg”, null);
p.execute;
p.wait;
p = new Process(“rsync -r tango ldc/”, null);
p.execute;
p.wait;
p = new Process(“mv ldc ldc-hg-0.9.1~”~pkgversion~”+tango-0.99.8.dfsg”, null);
p.execute;
p.wait;
p = new Process(“tar -czf ldc-hg_0.9.1~”~pkgversion~”+tango-0.99.8.dfsg.orig.tar.gz ldc-hg-0.9.1~”~pkgversion~”+tango-0.99.8.dfsg”,null);
p.execute;
p.wait;
p = new Process(“rsync -r debian ldc-hg-0.9.1~”~pkgversion~”+tango-0.99.8.dfsg/”, null);
p.execute;
p.wait;

char[] changelog =
“ldc-hg (0.9.1~”~pkgversion~”+tango-0.99.8.dfsg-0ppa1) karmic; urgency=low

* Daily build of ldc hg

auto fileChangelog = new FileConduit (“ldc-hg-0.9.1~”~pkgversion~”+tango-0.99.8.dfsg/debian/changelog”, FileConduit.WriteCreate);
fileChangelog.output.write(changelog);
fileChangelog.close;

return 0;
}

It’s a D programming language program that fetches ldc sources, add the tango library 0.99.8 to the source tree and create a valid soruce tree suitable for debuild -S and dput. Thanks to it i’m building every night packages of the ldc compiler which are stored in d-language-packagers ppa. To use it is very easy as you can read directly from the ldc project page in packages for ubuntu and debian section.
