[llvm-dev] Consider making build directories of the buildbots available
Ah, apologies, I think I wasn't clear. I am talking about making object files available in this manner so that people can download them and compile just their changes without having to compile all of LLVM, thus reducing the barrier to entry. As far as I am aware, the releases on Github do not contain object files.
