Hello I would like to llvm-toolchain-7 the default for buster. This for the following reasons: * llvm 6.0 upstream won't have a new upstream release * I have been focusing my Debian effort on 7 for a while, so, packaging is a much better shape * libc++ & openmp have been merged into llvm-toolchain-7. We would be able to remove libc++ and openmp; Both had some significant improvements as they have been merged in the main line. * a few packages are already using 7 (Postgresql, rust 1.30 and soon Firefox, which would make our life easier when we release) * 7 is in testing * Remove everything but 6 & 7 from the archive to release with only two llvm versions. (maybe one if we are very lucky? :) Thanks, Sylvestre Ben file: title = "llvm-defaults"; Affected: .depends ~ /(clang|llvm)1?-?[34567]/ Good: .depends ~ /(clang|llvm)1?-?[67]/ Bad: .depends ~ /(clang|llvm)1?-?[345]/ -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (600, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (300, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
