Thank you very much for working on this!
The LDC team is using Travis CI to test LDC against LLVM 3.5-3.9 and we
depend on these APT repositories: Travis CI is using Ubuntu Precise.
LLVM 3.8 is available (svn 257166), but LLVM 3.9 is not [1].

I am working on it as we speak. Hopefully, most of the 3.8 & 3.9
packages are going to be green by next week.

Thank you for working on this, your efforts are very much appreciated! I'd 
be happy to test the new builds as they become available.

Speaking of "going green", the builder which I used to monitor still 
doesn't seem to respond for me:

     http://llvm-jenkins.debian.net

Is it now behind a firewall and no longer publicly accessible, or maybe it 
has been migrated elsewhere and the http://llvm.org/apt/ webpage needs to 
be updated with the new URL?

Hi Sylvestre,
  Did it work out? Could you give an update on this?
llvm.org/apt still reports the last update was on Jan 8th.

Thanks a lot,
  Johan

Any updates on that?

It appears that Precise repositories are now in order, but all the others 
(and, most importantly, Trusty) are still not updated.

Also, 3.9 packages are not mentioned on the web page, although they seem 
to be available for Precise from the snapshots repository.

For me, the Jenkis URL is still not responding, so although I can see the 
commits to the svn repository at http://anonscm.debian.org, I can't really 
figure out what's actually going on...

Many thanks!
