Description Austin English (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-06-27 04:04:26 UTC
RepoMan scours the neighborhood...
  dependency.unknown            2
   sys-devel/llvm/llvm-3.5.2.ebuild: DEPEND: <sys-libs/libcxx-3.5.2.9999
   sys-devel/llvm/llvm-3.6.2.ebuild: DEPEND: <sys-libs/libcxx-3.6.2.9999
999

Note: use --include-dev (-d) to check dependencies for 'dev' profiles

RepoMan sez: "You're only giving me a partial QA payment?
              I'll take it this time, but I'm not happy."


Either llvm should not depend on older libcxx, those versions should be removed, or those versions should be restored.

I think llvm works better with a matching version of libcxx. Using llvm-3.5 with libcxx-3.8 could possibly lead to compatibility issues.

I don't know why older versions of libcxx were removed in the first place. Are llvm-3.5 and llvm-3.6 planned to be removed as well?
Comment 2 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2016-09-10 08:49:44 UTC
FWIW: llvm simply segfaults if you don't have the matching libcxx on certain platforms.  It can't compile some stuff if it doesn't have the matching libcxx-headers (due to its own increased strictness, etc.)

Those versions are only for Prefix convenience, so reassigning.
Comment 4 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2021-01-06 12:54:24 UTC
these versions are no longer in the tree
