The package passed review and is now published to the 'edge' 
channel of the snap store ('edge' as in 'bleeding edge').

Anyone on Ubuntu 16.04 or later should be able to try installing 
it with:

     sudo snap install --edge --classic ldc2

(you may need to install snappy first: `sudo apt install snapd`)

Instructions for installing snapd on other distros are available 
here:

If people could give it a spin and confirm that it works for them 
I'd be really grateful (I'll be trying it out in a few virtual 
machines on different distros later this week).

How official is the v1.1.0 release I see tagged on 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases ... ?  If this is 
definitely it, I can update the snap package fairly quickly.
