Bug 8003 – Phobos uses deprecated std.path sep symbol

DMD 2.059 release: std.file and std.datetime still use std.path.sep which is deprecated, they should use dirSeparator instead. Here are the lines: std.file: L542 L543 L1968 L1969 std.datetime: L29289 L29598 L29600 L29601 Why is Phobos being compiled with the deprecation option when distributed? The same thing goes for RDMD which Walter compiled with -d but otherwise the 2.059 release version wouldn't compile without -d. For lack of a better word, it's really unprofessional.

Here are the lines: [...] Had been fixed before the report, but apparently missed 2.059: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/commit/022808fa68d2f43d159d29a40e3587cdc0f1ab5c > Why is Phobos being compiled with the deprecation option when distributed?

If you want to keep it open for rdmd (or the release practice criticism), just reopen please.
