[LLVMdev] Very Experimental LLVM Debian packages for i386

Anyone willing to do some testing?  I've finally gotten
LLVM 1.4 to build Debian packages from source (it weren't
pretty), at least for i386.

To get the debs, add the following to your sources.list:

   deb http://toolchain.org/~ahs3 /
   deb-src http://toolchain.org/~ahs3 /

then 'apt-get update' as usual.  To install the packages:

   apt-get install llvm llvm-doc

This will pull down four _large_ packages (multiple 10's
of megabytes).  56K dial-ups are probably not a good idea.

If you want to install the packages one at a time, do the
following, in this order:

   apt-get install llvm-libs
   apt-get install llvm-cfe
   apt-get install llvm
   apt-get install llvm-doc

If you could try to install them, and play with your favorite
command, man pages, or other feature, I would greatly appreciate
it.  I'll be the first to admit I don't know all of the quirks
of all of the commands, and in the process of automating the
build from source, I wouldn't be surprised if I borked up something.

Drop me a line directly (ahs3 at fc.hp.com) if you do run into
a problem since these haven't been uploaded into the Debian
archives yet -- I've tested the packages a bit on my machines,
but I wanted to get some more eyes looking at them before I do
upload them.  And I definitely need to get the optimized build
working to cut down on the size...

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
