• Dropping gdc support?

    From Samuel Thibault@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 16 21:20:02 2022
    Hello,

    The gcc-12 package fails to build because it notices that gdc-11 does
    not work. Actually gdc has never worked as far as I can still test. And
    indeed the packages that were build-depending on it are failing.
    Basically it cannot work because the D runtime has not been ported
    to the Hurd system. It seems that it's like all these new languages implementations: one has to write by hand in D each and every bit of the
    Posix ABI (while perl has been doing such thing automatically from C
    headers for decades). If somebody volunteers to do the porting that will
    be welcome, otherwise I'll soon ask to just drop the gdc support from
    gcc-12, only a dozen or two Debian packages will miss that.

    Unfortunate, I was just about to look into that problem.
