LLVM is getting popular as BuildRequires for other packages. Right now the rubinius, Mono, Freemat matlab clone and even the KDE Unstable repo needs it.
As an extra, you get clang, a C/C++ compiler which is very interesting as it can be used as a library and/or static analyzer. Actually FreeBSD builds now entirely with clang and it seems the BSD world is trying to do a switch from gcc.
I have updated the packman package to 2.8 (latest) release (home:dmacvicar/llvm). There is only a bug left with apidocs/doxygen, which are right now disabled by default via a bscond.
I would like to submit this package to a "right project". devel:tools:compiler looks like the best right now.
Yes, I volunteer to be the maintainer. I admit I am not experienced enough yet with it, but it will improve :-). The original package maintainers are also invited to co-maintain.
Once it is on a project, I would like to get it into Factory so that it shows up on 11.4.
I guess the packman people could try to get my changes back into packman, except for factory where we should have a common one.

This would be cool. I would like to get the D programming language into factory at some point and the packages I was looking at building require llvm.
