Using tilde for git master ("~master") is a bad idea

[simendsjo]

Tools will often expand ~ to your home folder. Trying to reference the package directory will then expand to something like this:

/usr/lib/dub/packages/vibe-d//home/simendsjo/master/source

The tilde is not used in path names anymore. However, it can still occur on a command line (e.g. dub install vibe-d --version=~master). But all shells I've tested only subsitute a lone "" or "/suffix", but not "~suffix", do you think this will be a problem somewhere anyway?

[simendsjo]

I got the problem in mono-d when pointing to the library to get
autocompletion. The shells might be smart enough, but various hackish
implementations probably isn't.

OK, so then I guess with the fixed paths everything is alright now...

[simendsjo]

Hmm..? What do you mean by "fixed paths"?

The tilde is not used in path names anymore.

Ok. Seems unistalling a (system) module isn't implemented yet. Can I just delete the folder to test this new behavior?

[s-ludwig]

Yes, deleting should work fine. I'll make a ticket for uninstalling.

Ticket for uinstalling #24 is resolved, closing this as well.
