Hi!
During the DebConf, Matthias Klose and I discussed about llvm in Squeeze and took a few decisions, but the freeze has been announced before I uploaded the corresponding work. We would like to make llvm 2.7 (which is already used by clang and openjdk) the default version, but some packages (ldc and python-llvm) still need llvm 2.6. The things to do would be: - Rename the current "llvm" source package to "llvm-2.6" and replace binaries by versioned binaries. Thus, it is allowed to have two versions in the archive (the 2.7 version is already versioned), just like GCC. - Upload a package called llvm-defaults which would provide the binaries for the default (2.7) version. It can be found in its current state here [0]. Also like GCC. - Adjust build-dependencies of ldc and python-llvm to the versioned 2.6 packages. - Do a last upload of llvm-2.7, clang and llvm-gcc-4.2 which fixes the remaining open bugs This "transition" would be very smooth (all the packages using llvm already use the version they need, no need to fix them) and I would take care to fix all the eventual bugs very quickly.
