Indeed!

It seems that the people relying on our apt service wouldn't bother
much where we move it to. So, I'm ok with any solution that replaces
the functionality.

This also sounds interesting... I remember being impressed with
OpenSUSE's validation infrastructure in the past.

Would you be able to cook up some example, so that the rest of the
people that rely on it can check if it works for them, too?

I did make a package [1] a while ago. I've not touched it in a while
so the Arch Linux build broke.

It seems there is already a repo for OpenSUSE [2]. We could try to
incorporate support for other distros there are make our own given
that we actually want to support multiple LLVM versions too.

If you want I could try to hack together a proof of concept using the
existing Debian packaging files targeting one particular LLVM version.

If the proof of concept works well and the community don't mind moving
we should probably talk to the OpenSUSE build service people about
setting up a more permanent home for the packages there and getting
involvement from downstream users because I don't want to maintain
packaging scripts for distributions that I don't even use.

Looks like they're all 3.8.0 based...

If you don't mind, I really have no idea how to do that. :)

Absolutely. If we end up using their services, we need to make them
aware and be in sync. :)

Also, we should incorporate that maintenance into the same package as
we did the last apt repo.

Just make sure Anton is in the loop, and we should be able to get it
going after the prototype is approved by the other users.
