Hello all :-)
Stable snap packages for LDC 1.2.0 have been available since
before the official 1.2.0 release announcement 1 week ago.
However, since there's more than just the availability of the
packages to announce, I thought I'd write up some notes for the
forums.
The full writeup (including installation instructions) is
available here:
https://forum.dlang.org/post/tqxfcvdzcqendwyyd...@forum.dlang.org
but in short, the latest news can be summarized as:
* the packaged LDC version has been updated to 1.2.0, comprising
DMD/druntime/phobos 2.072.2 and LLVM 4.0
* packages are now available for both i386 and amd64
architectures,
with ongoing work to extend the list
* specific release tracks are now available, allowing users to
install and update from either the latest LDC releases or from
specific minor release series
* these packages are expected to work with (at least) Ubuntu
14.04,
16.04, 16.10, 17.04 and development releases; Debian Testing
and
Unstable; and OpenSUSE Leap.
Please report any issues encountered with the packages here:

Enjoy, and please do let me know how you get on with using these
packages!
Thanks & best wishes,
