Any updates on an Ubuntu PPA for DMD co? I've had complaints from friends regarding the lack of this functionality. Is it complicated to maintain a PPA?

It is simple, but will allow automatic updates with everything else that is D-related. See this message: http://forum.dlang.org/post/lu6bcg$306u$1...@digitalmars.com Thanks. PS Is it me, or dmd-bin is not yet upgraded to 2.066?

Official PPA for dmd
I'm happy to see an official .DEB for installing DMD! Could we please host this in a PPA, to make it easier for Debian/Ubuntu users to install? This would make dmd play nicer with automated provisioning sytems like Chef/Puppet, and pave the way for dmd making it into the official Ubuntu repositories one day.

It is easier than configuring a PPA and the .deb packages are official if you download them from dlang.org. I don't easily trust a PPA. It's also not the kind of upgrade I want to happen automatically.
