Current status

• Targeted release: Fedora 26
• Last updated: 2017-02-13
• Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>

Detailed Description

The LDC D compiler has been lagging behind upstream in Fedora, making it difficult to build software that needs an up to date D compiler, such as Terminix. With this update, LDC in Fedora gets bumped to the latest upstream release, 1.1.0, and hopefully makes it easier for projects using the D compiler to get into Fedora.

Benefit to Fedora

Fedora stays in sync with upstream.
