Hi,

What happened to llvm 16.x? It was released three months ago.

I tried to update the PKGBUILD locally to 16.x, this is what I got
https://paste.rs/9R0Mk

This issue should have been prevented if we used Source.tar.gz with a
single PKGBUILD and should build different packages from this single
source (like clang, lld, llvm, llvm-libs etc). Instead, we have three
different PKGBUILD files (one for clang, one for lld, one for
llvm+llvm-libs). why?

I'm a long time arch user, when I started arch, I loved it because of
how easy it was to take an official PKGBUILD file for an upstream
project, bump the version and get the latest binaries in a single
package, it was fairly simple.

Now, lot of upstream projects was split into multiple packages (eg:
qemu), I can understand the reason for the qemu package split, at
least we have a single PKGBUILD to generate multiple qemu packages

but this llvm split with multiple PKGBUILD is not helping us to move
forward easily. It is stuck at 15.x. I think this is not supposed to
be Arch's way.

Thanks,
Mohan R
