Hi, it is quite nice, you can install LDC on Raspbian via apt-get install ldc. Unfortunatelly it seems it isn't maintained as it is on version 0.14.0 (v2.0.65). Also the second resource https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/armv7h/ldc is quite old (0.17.1-1). If possible could you update these resources? Kind regards André |

I ended up modifying the install instructions below (from here [1]) for the more recent version. curl -L -O https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/download/v1.4.0/ldc2-1.4.0-linux-x86_64.tar.xz tar xf ldc2-1.4.0-linux-x86_64.tar.xz export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/your/ldc2-1.4.0-linux-x86_64/bin ldc2 --version # check that ldc is your path It might make sense to put something like this a little more prominently on the github page, given that it only references using apt for ubuntu and those are older releases currently.

We have been going back and forth on this, following how involved people were in distro packaging. There is also the issue that packages from Debian/Ubuntu stable will be horribly out of date almost by definition – which I hope people using distros based on that would realise, but may not always do.
If you have any ideas on how to word the readme such as to clearly advertise the release tarballs as the "guaranteed up-to-date" option, could you maybe create a quick PR?

Sorry, took me longer than I expected to get around to this. I still kind of feel that it needs an example under the Linux heading, but I did not include it for the sake of this PR. https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/pull/2421 |
