We did both in the past before moving to dlang.org equivalents. Not sure how that is relevant.

Package definition is now pushed there:
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc2.snap

I'll follow up as I have news regarding actual publication of a snap package.

Thanks for doing this – the README is nicely informative!

I've uploaded the first version of the package to the snap store.  It's currently waiting for manual review (understandably given that its confinement option is quite permissive).  I'll let you know as soon as it's published.

@David I'll follow up privately with some info on the associated developer account.

It sounds like it was irrelevant, that I just misunderstood the thread.

No worries – I'm always interested in tech suggestions. In this case, the question was just about our own domain as a point of contact.

The package passed review and is now published to the 'edge' channel of the snap store ('edge' as in 'bleeding edge').

Anyone on Ubuntu 16.04 or later should be able to try installing it with:

    sudo snap install --edge --classic ldc2

(you may need to install snappy first: `sudo apt install snapd`)

Instructions for installing snapd on other distros are available here:
http://snapcraft.io/docs/core/install

If people could give it a spin and confirm that it works for them I'd be really grateful (I'll be trying it out in a few virtual machines on different distros later this week).

How official is the v1.1.0 release I see tagged on https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases ... ?  If this is definitely it, I can update the snap package fairly quickly.
