Hi David,

I intend to do a new upload of ldc to Debian archive soon (maybe even today, when I'm done with some other stuff), most likely merge-2.065 to be on par with other compilers.

Thanks for your quick reply.

I was mainly interested in whether "use apt-get install ldc" is a viable option to suggest on typical Debian (derivative) systems right now. I only have an old squeeze server, and LDC is still on 0.9.1 in the repositories there, so…

Regarding 2.065, it seems like there are still some rather nasty crashes: https://travis-ci.org/ldc-developers/ldc/jobs/27653630

Packaging merge-2.064 should be fine, I guess (we really need to get it merged into master), but 2.065 seems a bit risky.

Cheers,
David

According to:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=ldc&suite=sid

0.13.0alpha2 is in unstable/sid. This should work for jessie as well but I doubt I can push an update to squeeze/wheezy though as these are released, perhaps to wheezy-backports.

Ok, great - I guess that merge-2.064 corresponds to version 0.13.0 final right? I can do that in a short while, and while I'm at it, I can also do a merge-2.065 upload to experimental for anyone that would like to play with it.
