There should be a push to get DMD, GDC, LDC, Dub, Vibe.d and all associated technologies as up to date as possible in Debian and Fedora. But I can only make the call and help by using and reporting errors, I am not in a position to investigate official Debian or Fedora packaging — though I can possibly act as a support test packager if that helps. Having such old D technology in Debian and Fedora has to be seen as an embarrassment, but also an opportunity since the packages are there to be updated. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: russel winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder

LDC/Debian is currently discussed. GDC is more difficult because it can only be included as pary of GCC block. I don't think DMD will ever be in Debian because of backend license.

On Fedora 20, it is ldc 0.12.0. That's not the latest release but also not too old. The real problem with the Fedora package is that phobos/druntime is built as a shared library which is not (yet) supported. If you could fix this that would be awesome. Regards, Kai

I even build my DMD RPM with shared library by default. :D I will change this. I kinda expected DMD to have shared library support before I do RPM SPECs, but that was not the case.
