I have probably mentioned this before, but don't really like they way
applications/tools are handled in Dub.For example, I just added DStep[1] as a package. Looking at the
installation instructions on the package it says to add dstep to your
project's package.json. I don't know how much sense that makes for a
standalone tool that can be used without a project.[1] http://code.dlang.org/packages/dstep
That's indeed strange (wrong). I'll add a ticket to improve this. I'd
say there should at least be instructions on how to run or build it
(e.g. dub fetch dstep && dub run dstep), and possibly how to use it as a
build process utility (preBuildCommands).
Brian Schott just put dfix up on the registry recently. Does it make sense to add tools like dstep or dfix as a dependency to a project so you can run them as a pre-/post-build command make sense or are dependencies strictly for libraries?
