--- Comment #8 from Ron Olson <tachoknight@xxxxxxxxx> ---
I've been playing around with a downloaded copy of Swift in conjunction with an
installed copy of lldb and I believe that the swift binary is explicitly
looking for lldb in the same directory to run the REPL; I've asked on the Swift
forums to confirm my findings. 

It seems that the copy of lldb is inclusive of existing functionality (i.e. I
tested that it also debugs C/C++ executables as well), but that doesn't really
matter insofar as it's not the same copy that ships with the existing lldb rpm.
I believe the lldb that is included with Swift is essentially a fork with
additional functionality to support Swift. 

I'd like to float the possibility of allowing the installation to be put in
/opt/fedora per
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Limited_usage_of_.2Fopt.2C_.2Fetc.2Fopt.2C_and_.2Fvar.2Fopt.
I'm looking to get more information/confirmation from the Swift group before
making the formal proposal.
