You may want to start at

  http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/ldc

notice the "Koji Builds" link at the left and find out that a newer version has been worked on already. The build for F21 has not been submitted as a test update yet, however, for reasons I don't know.

Also note that this may be an opportunity to contribute:

Comment 2 MERCIER Jonathan 2015-03-18 21:01:38 UTC

The latest ldc release is too buggy I waiting upstream to fix some bug .

As example ldc fail to build D lib on 32 arch: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/836

when the issue https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/842 will be close I will push it.

In any case you are welcome to contribute.
