Description Kalev Lember 2023-06-28 14:28:42 UTC

RHEL 8.8 updated llvm from version 14.x to 15.x, which created broken deps in EPEL 8 for packages that link with llvm 14 libs.

One of the packages is ldc and I can't easily update it to build with new llvm because it's a self hosting compiler and needs llvm14-libs to be able to build itself.

I'm happy to help co-maintain llvm14 for epel8 if needed. Thanks!

Comment 1 Kalev Lember 2023-07-24 11:45:07 UTC

Will you be able to branch and build llvm14 in epel8?
I would be happy to be a co-maintainer if you do not wish
to build it on epel8 (FAS: kalev).

Comment 2 Nikita Popov 2023-07-25 07:17:37 UTC

I've added you to the llvm14 repo. Let me know if I need to so something else...

I also checked that a mock build of llvm14 on c8s+epel8 works with a one line change to add "%undefine __cmake_in_source_build".

Comment 3 Kalev Lember 2023-07-25 07:58:47 UTC

Excellent, thank you! I'll go ahead and request the branch and do the build then.

Comment 4 Kalev Lember 2023-07-25 08:03:32 UTC

I went ahead and pushed the "%undefine __cmake_in_source_build" line and kicked off the build: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/llvm14/c/ce292a1633772cb30e584dcd17ca7d4826978204?branch=epel8
