Also, equating dmd to an audio program or a clip art program that is designed to load any and all files in it's install dir is moronic too.
I like to add files to the dmd install directory to expand its "just works" library.
I was bitten by this change too. I'm of the opinion that splitting std.datetime was a waste of time and also that the package.d feature is misdesigned. It should ALSO allow any other file to be passed with the module declaration that matches... you know, like every other module in the language. Why it got this bizarre special requirement is beyond me.
If it did, then we could easily enough just leave the old file. But no, it requires the new one, but then prolly on efficiency grounds, doesn't check it first meaning the old one can silently conflict. Ugh.
But the fix here is to fix the bizarre package.d design. Don't break the zip for cases like mine where adding files is a key feature of it.
