Sorry, but how is this relevant to my question? Up until a day ago or
so, http://llvm.org/apt/precise/ did have 3.3 packages, which we used
for automatically setting up CI environments for our LLVM-dependent
project (building all of LLVM from source every time is impractical).

If the removal was on purpose, I'll have to see about putting some up
somewhere else, thus my question.

Konstantin, This is a legitimate question because the packages are
maintained by the LLVM project and kept on llvm.org.

David, while I don't see 3.3 packages I do see 3.4 snapshots in the
repository. Will that not do?

If there are any regressions keeping you back on 3.3 now's a good time
to report them!

Alp.

Sylvestre (CC'd) might know where to find it on Debian/Ubuntu repositories.

Being an open source compiler project (LDC), we test against 3.1 to
3.4 (trunk) in CI to make sure people can compile our project against
their preferred LLVM version (e.g. from their distro's repositories).

This might change at some point if we absolutely need custom LLVM
patches on Linux or OS X on x86 platforms (Windows is less critical),
but so far, we have been able to get away with that.

Regarding regressions, it's quite a hassle to keep up with API changes
in between releases sometimes. Right now, our 3.4 build is red because
of an incomplete workaround for a removed function, but it's looking
relatively good apart from that.

Cheers,
David
