~/.dub/packages/arsd-official-10.9.8/arsd-official/simpledisplay.d(7222,3): Error: undefined identifier `future`

Do you have a mechanism to prevent breaking releases like this? Maybe some script that checks everything builds and then creates the tag?

[John-Colvin]

it's also broken in 10.9.7 as well. 10.9.6 is ok.

[adamdruppe]

I actually did comment that out since it failed my test but apparently the tag was made before that....

Just always use master, it is the version I actually support.

[adamdruppe]

From master:

    /*@future*/ allowResizingMaintainingAspectRatio, // gdc 9 doesn't allow the @future thing here but that's still the intention

What compiler version you on anyway?

[John-Colvin]

In order to say you support dub, I think you need to make at least the latest tag work ok. Depending on ~master means the dependency changes unpredictably, depending on a specific git commit in dub does work, but it's not how people use it. They use the versions. dub add arsd uses the versions. And so on.

[John-Colvin]

dmd-2.102.0

[adamdruppe]

I don't say I support dub.

[John-Colvin]

you publish a dub package called arsd-official...

[adamdruppe]

In fact, I specifically say I don't support dub. It is a gigantic pain in my ass that I'd like to see permanently deleted from all systems and all time.

try 10.9.9 now it might work

[John-Colvin]

I understand of course, no guarantees, known by the state of cancer to cause california and so on.

I'm just wondering how to make the user experience go smoother given how they do behave.

[John-Colvin]

try 10.9.9 now it might work

yeah that works, thanks :)

[adamdruppe]

Actually looks like the thing might be called __future in the mainline compiler too.

[adamdruppe]

And right now master is completely broken cuz i committed before changing branches in the middle of something lol

but at least master will get a fix p soon whereas tags sit there

[John-Colvin]

It seems that really the answer to what to use is "some commits on master, user can work out which ones".

[adamdruppe]

Always use the latest. If it is broken, the latest actually gets fixed in a little while.

The tags are just arbitrary points where some dub user hassled me and I appeased them.

[John-Colvin]

This isn't ideal as a user, because if I need it to work now, am I supposed to just walk back commits until I find a good one?

[adamdruppe]

If master is broken, wait 20 minutes and it is fixed.

Hell, even if dub tags are broken, ping me and I can usually cherry pick a fix there in 15-20 mins too.

[adamdruppe]

so i have a makefile that runs the local tests. it takes like a minute which is brutally slow but it tests compile across 3 compiler versions times 4 platforms (i might add a 5th soon too, i might do bsd).

mebbe a git pre-commit hook could run through all that

just sometimes i commit just to change branches lol

[adamdruppe]

git config --global --add tag.sort -version:refname

that's a neat trick

[adamdruppe]

I updated my old makefile to be on a pre commit hook at least that should keep things building before i push it lol
