Nice. Any chance that the packages are able to have a similar layout to dmd?
I use this command line to add each dmd as an alternative in Ubuntu would
be nice to add ldc as an option.

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/dmd dmd
/usr/lib/dmd/dmd-2063/dmd2/linux/bin64/dmd 2 --slave /usr/bin/rdmd rdmd

The binary packages follow the simple pattern that you can 
extract them into /opt, add the path to the bin folder and start 
using LDC.

The important piece of information is etc/ldc2.conf. You can 
rearrange even the binary package as you want as long as you keep 
ldc2.conf in sync.

So, yes, the packages can be arranged in a similar layout to dmd. 
A simple shell script should be able to do this.

Okay thanks, I guess its easy enough for me to just change my command.

Actually I guess I'll just make a new setup for ldc. Would have been nice
to treat them as the same command line interface so I didn't have to change
anything. :) easy enough to just start typing ldc instead of dmd.

It is easy to just rearrange the files to match DMD's directory 
structure, you just have to update ldc2.conf accordingly.

However, as we don't ship one big archive for all possible 
operating systems (including the source code) like DMD does, but 
binary-only packages for each OS, I think adopting the DMD zip 
directory structure would only be confusing. The current layout 
is supposed to make it as easy as possible to just extract the 
archive somewhere and immediately be able to use the compiler (I 
use /opt/ldc… for keeping the different releases around, but you 
could also extract the files to /usr/local directly).

But I believe what you were asking for is a layout to match the 
DMD .deb packages? In this case, this would be a a job for the 
person providing LDC Debian packages, which we – unfortunately – 
currently don't have at all. Since LDC is Free Software in the 
Debian sense, it should even be possible to include it in the 
official repositories (again). There were a few discussions in 
that direction, but I don't think anything concrete resulted from 
that yet. Please contact us if you would be able to help with 
this!
