Per the thread at http://forum.dlang.org/thread/[email protected], we should add dlang.org/rpm and dlang.org/debian with stable and unstable packages available for installation.

The most interesting comment in this thread: --- We could try to host an apt and yum repo on dlang.org. Might be simple to do, but it's not much better than the deb/rpm download we offer. It only gets interesting when we could land DMD in official repos, volunteering package maintainers are welcome and should please contact me. I hope we can sort out the redistribution part of the backend somehow. We should include the few commands to install the packages on the download page. --- Well, now that the DMD backend is Boost licensed too, there is nothing stopping distros to ship DMD, but somehow they haven't done so. Sociomantic plans to move d-apt to GitHub + Bintray: https://github.com/orgs/dlang-community/teams/all/discussions/2 So maybe efforts for Ubuntu/Debian should focus on/collaborate with this.
