I am also keeping old versions of LLVM for Prefix team. That's why I'd really prefer to get rid of them and have them in some common overlay that all Prefix users can use. > What we are discussing in this thread, however, is prefix-standalone, it > uses the official gentoo repository without any overlay.

But isn't making maintenance of Gentoo packages more complexity for Prefix an overkill? We are effectively switching from trivial model of 'assign bug with X to maintainer' to checking which maintainer applies to which version of X. > > Yours, > Benda > > 1. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Prefix -- Best regards, Michał Górny
