Bug 585102 – dev-util/intel-ocl-sdk: requires old llvm version

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Michał Górny 2016-06-05 12:20:15 UTC]

TBH, I don't know what this package does and how to test it but;

- 2.0* has unversioned llvm dep which is most likely wrong,

- 4.4*[system-clang] requires old version of clang.

I'd like to finally clean up old versions of LLVM. Could we either get the package updated (if possible) to support newer LLVM? Or possible drop/hardmask the system-clang flag.

I'm not sure I want to mask the use flag just to drop old versions of llvm.  I'd like to see if there are updates available but intel makes this ebuild a bit of a pain.  I'll take a look.  mask the use flag if you must, but try not to do it unless this (and others like it) is the only thing holding you up.
