We'll improve comments on the script itself, but as a user I'd really like to have something that I can run that will Just Work :)


I don't disagree that having something that "just works" would be nice. However you have to take into account that LLVM is a very complex project and there is not a "single image" that can fit all.

If we start with an "easy to build" full image, it should be the same as the official packages: http://releases.llvm.org ; this is *not* what was proposed here.
