dud: A build and dependency tool for the D programming language

Dud is meant to be a reasonable drop in replacement for dub.

IMHO the dub codebase is hard to get into and high coupled. Meaning that, if you fix one thing you might break another.

Dud's implementation tries to be boring. Dud is to be written in a declarative and functional style.

Testing is paramount.

Features

Most things do not work are are even implemented. Currently, the focus is on getting the data structures correct.

Given the below displayed list of dub features, dud's current feature set is extremely limited.

Package creation

init

Build, test and run

Package management

Building

To build dud run:

$ dub build

Each subpackage should be buildable with the same shell command.

Testing

To test the individual subpackages run:

$ dub test

in the subpackage folder.

To execute the excessive tests -- Excessive, in this case means, downloading all packages from code.dlang.org, creating a folder for each tag for each package and running tests on all of them -- run:

$ cd testdata
$ make // This requires ~ 63GB of disk space
$ cd ../sdlang
$ dub --config=ExcessiveTests
$ cd ../pkgdescription
$ dub --config=ExcessiveTests

It is not indented that dud can ingest all dub.(sdl|json) found, instead the idea is to have a large, real world test set.
