Download the last "d-apt.list" to update:
$ sudo wget http://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/d-apt/files/d-apt.list -O
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/d-apt.list

The new distribution allows to install any deb package version available at
d-apt.
i.e. "dmd-bin" deb package is available for versions 2.064.2, 2.065.0 and
2.066.1
To install an old dmd version:
$ sudo apt-get install dmd-bin=2.064.2-0 libphobos2-dev=2.064.2-0

Legacy distribution will be disabled on dmd v2.067.0 release.

I find it very useful.

This already has been handy, at least for Maor Ben-Dayan who needed to
downgrade dmd to version 2.065.0 to avoid some regression :-)

Thank you all to create this incredible compiler and the related tools. I only
wrap them on d-apt.

A product is only as good as its channel to market. Having downloadable
things is fine but not really a good vehicle =E2=80=93 except for Windows, =
and
OSX users who don't use MacPorts or Homebrew. Having platform integrated
packaging for Debian (and Devuan?), and hence Ubuntu and Mint, and (if
it were available) Fedora, and hence RHEL and CentOS, along with
packaging for MacPorts, Homebrew, etc., etc. is the way to go.

I do wonder though if d-apt is actually a bad idea as the main resource
and we should package directly into Debian?

d-apt allows to instant update on dmd releases, not on Debian official
repositories.

Anyway, packaging dmd directly into Debian is not a problem for me, d-apt will
adapt to the conjuncture, can live together with an official Debian package,
and if it should disappear, will do.

Push for it!

Ho, I was unaware of this. Looks like something I should be using.
