Hello,
The links on the D IRC channel as well as
https://dlang.org/download.html for GDC all point to
https://gdcproject.org/downloads, which last appears to be
updated several years ago.
Can we archive the old site and make GDC's website redirect to,
say, a GCC 11 nightly build? Perhaps it should also have some
information on what features are missing and/or the DMDFE
version.
It looks bad to have one of the main compilers point to a
website with downloads timestamped "2016."
There's pending changes to move them to an /old path on the site
[1], but have not gotten round to pushing it live.
While I don't provide any automated build service, there does
exist some build tools within the gdc infrastructure code [2], if
someone wants to do some work to create a pipeline for binary
builds, please give a shout out and I'll provide a server in
order to get that done.
