llvm dev - Mar 2016 - Status of the official LLVM APT repositories

Hi,

I'd like to ask what's the status of the Debian / Ubuntu repositories 
linked from llvm.org, specifically http://llvm.org/apt/ ...

If the timestamps are correct, some of the repositories haven't been 
updated for months. I've tried browsing them directly, and e.g. for Ubuntu 
14.04 (Trusty), the newly released LLVM 3.8 is nowhere to be found, even 
though it's advertised on this web page. I've also tried to check out 
http://llvm-jenkins.debian.net, but it doesn't seem to respond at all.

I poked around on the IRC, but couldn't really get an authoritative answer 
and was directed to the mailing list instead. Could someone please shed 
some light on this? I'm thoroughly confused...

Many thanks!

P.S. I'm not a subscriber of this list, so please do CC me on replies.

This is still maintained. However the cmake transition (for both 3.8 and 3.9)
wasn't simple...
While it should be fine for debian, it might need more work for old Ubuntu (back
port of cmake)

Hi Sylvestre,

Thank you for the clarification! Any ETAs on when the APT repositories are 
going to be updated with LLVM 3.8 & 3.9 builds?

I'm not sure how clean / dirty of a solution you'd be okay with, but
I'd
just point out that CMake developers provide working binary tarballs for 
Linux with every release at https://cmake.org/download/ . So, if you are 
not a purist and/or need the CMake backport for some other reasons 
anyways, it's as simple as just unpacking it on the builder and adding to 
the front of the PATH variable. I use this approach on my Ubuntu 12.04 
(Precise) builders, as a proper backport simply isn't worth the effort for 
my purposes, since they are going to be decommissioned rather soon anyways 
and it's working very nicely.
