We know GCC 4.8.1 has GCD, it is packaged and released for Debian, it is not packaged and released in Fedora 19 as far as I can tell.

I don't think GDC is officially a part of GCC yet. The Debian package is courtesy of a Debian developer who is working with Iain to bring GDC to Debian.

If you want a Fedora package, you'd have to find somebody who knows how to make an .rpm out of the GDC sources, and how to get it included in the official repo.

From whereever it came and for whatever it's worth:

(On mint 14)

$ apt-cache search gdc | grep ^gdc
gdc - D compiler (language version 2), based on the GCC backend
gdc-4.4 - D compiler (version 1), based on the GCC backend
gdc-4.6 - GNU D compiler (version 2), based on the GCC backend
gdc-v1 - D compiler (language version 1), based on the GCC backend

I don't understand your point?  I already said gdc is in the Debian archive. But it's not part of the upstream GCC code; it's built from a separate source package that basically contains Iain's diffs to the gcc sources. The build scripts download & unpack the upstream gcc sources and patch it in order to build the gdc binaries.

We are essentially part of the same source package as gcc in Debian (and thus, all Debian derivatives that use unstable) now.

This was to simplify maintenance for myself and the Debian gcc maintainers.

Mint is based on Debian so the fact that Mint (and Ubuntu for the same
reason) has GDC 4.8.1 should come as no surprise ;-)

Cool!

But AFAIK, GDC isn't part of the official upstream GCC sources, right? Or did it get included recently and I missed the good news?
