Re: unretiring llvm7.0

[Andy Mender <andymenderunix@xxxxxxxxx>]

If I understand correctly, the sudden disappearance of llvm7.0 means that now ghc is in danger as a package, because it's missing the toolchain needed to build & package it?

I did a quick `dnf search llvm` and I see the following on my main Fedora 32 box:

llvm5.0.i686 : The Low Level Virtual Machine
llvm5.0.x86_64 : The Low Level Virtual Machine
llvm6.0.i686 : The Low Level Virtual Machine
llvm6.0.x86_64 : The Low Level Virtual Machine
llvm7.0.i686 : The Low Level Virtual Machine
llvm7.0.x86_64 : The Low Level Virtual Machine
llvm8.0.i686 : The Low Level Virtual Machine
llvm8.0.x86_64 : The Low Level Virtual Machine
llvm9.0.i686 : The Low Level Virtual Machine
llvm9.0.x86_64 : The Low Level Virtual Machine

However, https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages lists only llvm9.0 and llvm10.0 builds.

I think it's an interesting problem in general. Perhaps it would be good to have at least 1 extra version of GCC and LLVM other than the current mainline?

Best,

Andy

In March llvm7.0 which had been orphaned for some reason, got retired.

Unfortunately I missed the warning mails that Miro sent here.

llvm7.0 is needed for aarch64 ghc:8.8,

and for ghc-8.8.3 planned for F33.

So I would like to unretire llvm7.0.

Thanks, Jens
