Would anyone mind terribly if I tried to get LLVM packaged and added to the Debian distribution? -- Ciao, al ---------------------------- Al Stone Linux & Open Source Lab Hewlett-Packard Company E-mail: ahs3 at fc.hp.com ----------------------------

Please do. :) Note that we have experimental support for RPM generation in CVS currently, which might give you a starting point to look at. If you have any questions or run into any problems, please just let us know! What version would you be interested in working with? 1.1 or CVS? -Chris -- http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/ http://www.nondot.org/~sabre/Projects/

True, alien will do most everything properly. To actually have LLVM become a proper part of the Debian distro, though, it should probably be done as a full Debian package. Given the good work already done for rpm's, it should be pretty straightforward.

Okey dokey. I'll start setting things up. I think what I'll do is start with 1.1 (or the infamous and soon-to-be-released 1.2 :). Once that works, I'll probably put together a CVS snapshot version. I know LLVM currently supports ia32 and SPARC; is anyone looking at any other architectures?
