Well there is https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ldc-git/ , I usually don't expect alpha/beta to last long enough for this to actually matter :) But that does not cost me anything, will add soon.

An MSVC version of 0.12? With the EH patch?

A binary distribution was created by tae hoo based on an early version of the SEH patches, see
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/wrzsaoppngemvqikusac@forum.dlang.org

I also distributed an early version but I think it was based on 0.11.

Almost forgot to do it, this should do the trick: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ldc-alpha/ (this is build with shared libraries)

btw, is there any way to generate both static and shared versions of libraries, same as it is done for dmd? I'd like to provide packages for both.

Btw with shared libraries enabled and --gc-sections "Hello, World!" binary is only 15K ;)
