Description: Versioned LLVM 3.3, parallel-installable with 3.4.
Fedora Account System Username: nalimilan
In order to package the Julia language (Bug 1040517), I need to be able to use
LLVM 3.3 in Fedora 20 and 21, instead of 3.4 which is currently included there.
The reason is, Julia uses the LLVM API which is not stable across releases. Cf.
Bug 1098534 for more details.
This package is just a modification of the llvm package version 3.3 which was
included in F20. All paths have been changed to include the version, so that
they do not conflict with other LLVM packages. The only exceptions are the
-devel packages, which need to conflict since they determine with LLVM
compilers will use.
There's the question of the best name to use. Jens Petersen thinks the package
should be called llvm33. I prefer llvm3.3 since it's clearer, but then if using
a dot in the name is discouraged... I don't really care actually. :-)
