Ok, I can do this for linux, at least for the rc1 phase. I am going on vacation at the end of july. Does llvm+clang have some automated testing infrastructure for releases, such as buildbots pointing to the release branches?

I think having prebuilt binaries of lldb would be a good thing, as it would make it much easier for people to try it out. I see a couple of possible problems with this: - clang uses configure+make to build the release version. We usually build with cmake and I don't think anybody seriously tests the configure build of lldb. However I guess it should be possible to make configure work, or we can provide lldb binaries built with cmake. I know there are some plans to deprecate the configure build, do you have any idea what's the progress of that? - lldb has a smaller set of supported architectures than clang. It should build (or we can easily make it build) on the different flavours of linux x86(_64). With some effort, it should build on arm/aarch64/mips, but except arm, these targets are in a pretty bad shape. - lldb is much less stable than clang. However, since we are already releasing it as part of 3.7, i see no reason to not provide binaries as well. What do you think? pl _______________________________________________ lldb-dev mailing list lldb-dev@cs.uiuc.edu http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev
