PPA with 18.04 Bionic

[stephematician]

I tried adding the ppa to /etc/apt/sources.list in Ubuntu 18.04

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yann1ck/onedrive
...
Err:22 https://ppa.launchpad.net/yann1ck/onedrive/ubuntu bionic Release                   
  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.95.85 80]
....
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/yann1ck/onedrive/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.

Having a look at the PPA it looks like 18.04 is not included.

Any chance a package can be created - otherwise I'll have to go the build myself route.

@stephematician
Correct - the PPA does not support Ubuntu 18.x

The reasons for this are:

• DMD compiler is not available
• LDC compiler version is less than the minimum required to compile the client

For Ubuntu 18.x your only option is to compile from source.

There are 2 alternatives to compiling:

• Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.x
• Use a different Linux distribution that is not Ubuntu based, where the client is pre-packaged for that distribution

Thanks. I had no idea about the discussion section - so this is an accidental duplicate of #1369. Apologies.
