llvm dev - Jul 2021 - Binary releases - Flang

Hi All,

Could Flang be included in the future LLVM binary releases? This was 
recently brought up in a discussion on Flang + CMake integration [1]. 
Having regular binary releases would be very helpful for that discussion 
and would also help to attract new users to Flang.

Apologies for my ignorance, but I'm not sure how much additional effort 
would be required. Or whether there's a better place to discuss this. 
I'm hoping that we could piggyback on the existing infrastructure, if 
possible. Perhaps there's some other process that Flang should follow 
for this?

I'm available to help with any issues on the Flang side.

Hi Andrzej,

We've been including flang in our AArch64 Linux releases since llvm
11.0.0. Unfortunately, that's not very obvious from the name of the
tarball :)

In any case, adding it to the release is easy, the person building the
release need only pass -flang to test-release.sh. We could also
discuss enabling it by default, and having a -no-flang flag to disable
it for platforms where we don't want to ship it (e.g. armv7).

Cheers,
Diana
