Currently, openSUSE:Factory provides both the current GCC version (6) and the previous one (5). This makes sense, since it may take some time for packages to support the latest GCC version.
This is also an issue with LLVM/Clang, but unlike with GCC openSUSE:Factory only provides the latest LLVM/Clang version. Previous versions are not available, which makes it hard to support some software that is a little more conservative about switching to the latest version.
Would it be possible to do something similar with LLVM/Clang as is done with GCC, and provide both the latest version and the immediate previous version? I understand not wanting to go back and supporting 3.7 after it has already been dropped, but perhaps starting with 3.8 the infrastructure could be added and when 3.9 comes out 3.8 could be left in the repos.
Longer-term, this could hopefully avoid some issues where packages currently have to bundle a LLVM version into their package.
Hi Todd, I have already tried to do that in the past [1]. I could build the package and it was working fine, but when I submitted it to the science repo, then many problems occurred because some packages were choosing llvm3_3 instead of llvm. If you want to try fix those problems, you can still see my package here [2]. ---------- [1] https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2015-07/msg00405.html [2] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:Ronis_BR/llvm-3_3 Best regards, Ronan Arraes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
