Hi,
llvm-git (and it's predecessor llvm-svn) is intended to provide a full implementation of the llvm/clang compiler suite. It's a huge package that takes a lot of time and processor capacity to build.
While mesa needs llvm, it only needs a subset.
examples :
llvm-git builds with ocaml support, but mesa doesn't use ocaml at all.
llvm-minimal-git, perhaps? If it is just building the core.
llvm-git builds for lots of processor architectures not supported by archlinux. RISC-V is one of them.
Why does llvm-git build for RISC-V at all? Who is using it?
I've been looking into this and tried 2 (bad) naming schemes already.
The current scheme goes like this :
lone_wolf-llvm-git , lone_wolf-compiler-rt-git, lone_wolf-clang-git and lone_wolf-lib32-llvm-git
llvm-mesa-git seems to vague, while llvm-trunk-for-mesa-trunk-git feels clumsy and long.
Please help me to find a good name for these packages.
