What you are suggesting is blatantly idiotic. No software
ever made supports simply installing on top of an old
installation from a compressed zip or tar file. If you need
hand-holding, the installer will wipe the old install before
unpacking the new install for you. The zip file is for people
who know what they are doing, such as not unpacking on top of
the old install. You should just use the installer from now
on, not the zip file, if you can't be bothered to remove the
old install first.
bullshit. Are you a moron? You really think your absolute "No
software ever" is logical?
The only moron here is the one who simply uncompresses zip files
on top of old software. That either shows blatant ignorance of
what uncompressing does, or sheer stupidity that it would work
well for a compiler install. Of course there is trivial software
that consists of a single binary, for which you could do this.
But there is nothing "logical" about that, just an exception for
extremely simple software, which a compiler and its stdlib
clearly isn't.
I can name many off the top of my head. Have you ever heard the
fucking word "portable"? I guess not, go look it up.
You can name so many, yet you did not name a single one. I guess
it's not so easy.
Yes, that's hilarious, "portable" has essentially nothing to do
with this.
Please take your jack ass arrogant self somewhere else.
The only jackass is the one constantly braying about doing stupid
things and how we should account for every dumb thing you do. If
you want to blame us for your not knowing how to deal with zip
files, sounds like you're the one who should leave.
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.
It is not moronic, it's a simple example that illustrates the
larger principle, which is much more relevant for a compiler and
its source. The fact that you rail on the example rather than
understanding the principle shows how much of an idiot you are.
I'm tired of your constant complaints in this forum, which
reflect your own stupidity and ignorance more than anything else.
I'm amazed people have treated you this nicely in this thread,
and yet you keep ranting about how the D devs should account for
the most idiotic things you do.
GTFO, nobody wants you around.
