If you want a better-tested recent LDC, I recommend LDC 1.6.0, which is used in production at Weka. - Johan I expected at least 1.6 to be available in the repo by now. I remember the availability of LDC in ubuntu was celebrated here...now it seem abandoned after such an effort. Maybe someone from the team can answer what happened.

Yep it would be nice and it's planned to support `-t` for dub init: See https://github.com/dlang/dub/pull/1326#issuecomment-357233196 As always it happens faster if someone makes a PR for it ;-)

And by the way, for some people that is the reason to install such a kind of distro: to not be suprised by any updates that destroy your dependencies or change the behavior in any unexpected way. If you like, you can update a package any time by yourself, if that is necessary. To be always up to date I would recommend a different kind of distro.

I don't know their exact update policy, but generally the Long-Term support distros tend to have rather old packages for a lot of sw. I think they update only stuff for which security problems were fixed and everything that depends on those, and that's it.
