I've never built lldb, so I don't really know what's involved and what the "python bits" refer to. Would you or Pavel be willing to take a look at llvm's utils/release/test-release.sh script and see what would be necessary to teach that to package lldb based on some flag? - Hans _______________________________________________ lldb-dev mailing list lldb-dev@cs.uiuc.edu http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev
