I was under the impression that this was still very much a WIP (http://llvm.org/releases/2.6/docs/ReleaseNotes.html#mc) and that LLVM still uses the system assembler and linker. : : yes, it's a WIP. what I meant was that there's not so much pressure to import : newer "as" as we might be getting that from llvm anyway in the time frame... I'd rather counter with a contrary view. Given the choice between a badly licensed, but known to be working tool and a well licensed, but mostly vapor-ware tool, I'm inclined to go with the former... I've taken a look at what NetBSD has done in this area, and they have one sub-tree for all gplv3 code. Can svn easily exclude a tree? I know one can mirror without directories with cvsup... I think that going the ports route likely isn't going to work too well. It can be made to work, but you need more infrastructure in place and it is less integrated and tested :( Warner
