Which LLVM versions are you planning to remove?
15, 16 soon. 17 later.
Would it be possible to keep at least LLVM 15 until upstream has
upgraded their code base?
Sounds very unlikely for the next Debian release.
If a fix for this can't be released on time, I'm requesting an
exception for llvm-15. Removing OpenVDB from Debian will affect
Blender, which is is relatively high-profile and should not just be
axed for the sake if a pruning operation.
You still have time, we aren't going to release the trixie anytime soon
:) but we won't probably block the removal in testing for openvdb (the
popcon isn't high IMHO).
Is there any other reason why llvm-15 couldn't be kept, aside from the
reason mentioned in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1050070 ("too many
llvm version") ?
llvm-toolchain-X.Y is a very complex and heavy package. There are a lot
of changes in each release (every 6 months).
Between the new release, the port to archs, debian changes, new bugs,
etc, it is a lot of work to keep up.
So, we, Debian, have to make efforts to limit the number of versions and
push our upstream developers to also keep up with upstream versions
(they probably have too anyway).
Is there an upstream bug to follow the progress on their upgrade of
LLVM?
There is now:

Thanks. I subscribed!
