Hi, The ldc package just got upgraded to 1.12.0 on Fedora Rawhide which caused me to look at the package information. I wonder if there ought to be an update to this since LDC really isn't beta any more, and there are people working on non x86_64 platforms. i.e. I think the blurb needs to be far less defensive now: the defensiveness of the blurb could be a turn off to people reading it. |> sudo dnf info ldc Last metadata expiration check: 0:27:34 ago on Wed 17 Oct 2018 06:32:32 BST= .

It is base= d on the latest DMD : frontend and uses LLVM as backend. LLVM provides a fast and = modern backend for : high quality code generation. LDC is released under a BSD li= cense with : exceptions for the DMD frontend and code from GDC. : The development takes place mostly on x86-32 and x86-64 Linu= x and that is where : LDC works best. Support for other platforms and architecture= s is under : development, but we are still looking for people to help tes= t and adjust LDC : for those platforms! : LDC already compiles a lot of D code, but should still be co= nsidered beta : quality. Take a look at the tickets to get a better impressi= on on what still : needs to be implemented. --=20 Russel. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Dr Russel Winder t:+44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road m:+44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk

[...]That used to be the front-page text at the old LDC Dsource page: http://www.dsource.org/projects/ldc/wiki/WikiStart?version=237 which is why I used the same description back when I submitted LDC to FreeBSD ports almost a decade ago: https://www.freshports.org/lang/ldc-devel/ You're right that the RPM text should've been updated since.
