I don't know how it is for other distros, but the newest dmd and
ldc version are available in the Archlinux's [community]
repository while gdc and dub are available in the AUR, meaning
you get a fully working D environment on Archlinux by doing
yaourt -S dmd dub
or
yaourt -S gdc dub
or
yaourt -S ldc dub
(you could use any pacman-wrapper other than yaourt, as well of
course)
So far there isn't a dvm package (for Arch) that I can see, but
if anyone where really interested he could do so, as the AUR
anyone who registers an account may create (and maintain) new
packages.
