Bug#856678: unblock: ldc/1:1.1.1-1



Package: release.debian.org
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Severity: normal

Please unblock LDC 1:1.1.1-1.
The LDC package as well as its reverse dependencies have been caught
by an unfortunate bug which made builds fail on ppc64el, leaving us
the choice to drop this architecture to have things migrate, or wait
and fix it. The issue has been fixed for a while, but not as quickly
as expected, with the unfortunate consequence that we now have a Beta
compiler in the release.

Having LDC migrate has no known issues, and would instead fix a couple
of huge bugs in Stretch's version of LDC, leading to bad ABI on
ppc64el or it straight-up not compiling some code.

See also my mail to the release-team mailinglist outlining this issue
a while back: https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2017/01/msg00592.html

Thank you for considering this!

Kind regards,
    Matthias
