I feel sort of dumb now for not checking before asking that : ) And yes, but even if the backend was being converted to D that wouldn't change the license.

They do, but DMD's license specifically prohibits redistribution.
I think the best way to solve this is to work on LDC/GDC's compilation speed, I guess.

Might be simple to do, but it's not much better than the deb/rpm download we offer. It only gets interesting when we could land DMD in official repos, volunteering package maintainers are welcome and should please contact me. I hope we can sort out the redistribution part of the backend somehow. We should include the few commands to install the packages on the download page.

With a repo, at least you can let the package manager take care of upgrades (or non-upgrades if you want to pin a specific version). We could use dlang.org/rpm and dlang.org/debian maybe? Iain

Yah, that would be better than just the downloads. > We could use dlang.org/rpm and dlang.org/debian maybe? Would be awesome. Who can work on this? Andrei

Though I use the ldc2 compiler which is in the standard Debian archive. And as a snap package, which I think is updated more quickly.
