Hi,

Debian Sid currently has LDC 0.14. Are we, the LDC community, in touch with the Debian maintainer so as to try and help that person get 0.16 into the Debian repository asap?

I guess there is a similar issue for Fedora Rawhide?

(And Arch?)

(And MacPorts?)

Arch is always up to date (thanks to Dicebot who is actively maintaining it).

no idea what's going on with macports, but I make sure that HomeBrew always has the most up-to-date D compilers available for OS X, including alphas/betas/rcs. You can even do e.g. `brew install ldc --HEAD` to build the current master branch. DCD, dfix, dfmt and dub are also available.

Konstantinos Margaritis (LDC maintainer in Debian) has been very responsive and interested in feedback in the past when LDC package has been re-added. Trying to reach him via e-mail or Debian issue tracker would make sense.

0.16.1 has been just uploaded ;)

Short after the release I always provide the Gentoo ebuilds. Every other distribution package is created by some volunteer. They do a great job IMHO.
