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. [0]: https://github.com/rjmcguire/archlinux-dmd
