Hello,
The package 'llvm' is an orphaned [communuity] package. I'd like to request that it me moved to the AUR so I can maintain it (I have an update and overhaul ready) and I can also create a 'clang' package for it. (split package for llvm AND clang) Then it can be adopted by a TU if they want to bring it back into [community].
I vote for "move it on AUR"
I believe it should be kept in [community] as it takes a considerable amount of time to compile (around 10 minutes on a C2D 2.66 GHz, using both cores).
I must say I know close to nothing about LLVM, but I'm willing to maintain it and learn along the way. So, unless a more knowledgeable TU shows interest, I'll adopt it in [community] and upload a new package (based on Ranguvar's PKGBUILD) in the following weeks.
I've uploaded llvm 2.6-1 to [community-testing]. It doesn't include clang, as I believe it should be built as a separate package. I think it's possible to download both llvm and clang tarballs, place clang inside the tools subdirectory and run `make install' from there. We'll need to investigate this possibility. Testing of the uploaded packages would be appreciated. :)
