Hi,
I am planning on asking to become TU for the dlang packages in
community. I've been building and working with the current
packages
and making my own packages to make sure I know what I'm getting
in to.
LDC and GDC are matched with the system versions of llvm and
gcc. If I
can get TU approval I will put time in to these packages and
hopefully
make some Arch tools that use dlang to try and promote it more.
To learn makepkg and nampac etc I built this [0], it is a set of
PKGBUILD files that are loosely based on the way I use multiple
official dmd compilers on my dev box. Some of my customers use
older
version of Vibe that do not build on current dmd. I actually
normally
use /usr/local/ and not /usr/lib for my dmd installation. It
also has
a little utility for switching between compilers versions,
similar to
archlinux-java.

Hi Ruby,
I just saw that you pushed out new versions for LDC and Phobos -
thanks a lot for doing this!
Your work is highly appreciated :)

Awesome! I am really looking forward to this!
Please let us know if there's any way we can help you to make
this process easier.
