Even though "if ever" sounds a little bit pessimistic, I agree. Unfortunately I'm busy working on other things the last couple of weeks/months, but the biggest problem with LLVM/Clang right now is that the latest release on the website is practically useless to us. I've been tracking SVN, but each time I decide to upgrade sources, I get yet another regression, which means I have to file bug reports. I think I already filed 50-60 bug reports. For some reason there has been a lot of talking, but no hacking. It takes a lot of work to maintain ClangBSD, at least more than I'm willing to spend on it right now. --=20 Ed Schouten <ed@80386.nl> WWW: http://80386.nl/ --OQhbRXNHSL5w/5po Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkpnPFQACgkQ52SDGA2eCwW57gCZAcpB/H+0bKEvySrCXqbtIhLx eBcAnjMxALtcqHeXbpLV+zJwHJ6enOkP =VybC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --OQhbRXNHSL5w/5po--
