[LLVMdev] Call for Packages

[Anton Korobeynikov]

Hello, Everyone.

As you may have already noticed, 2.1 release is "really soon". Recently
we found, that LLVM is somehow hard to use for end-users due to lack of
"packages" for different distributions. 

It might not be convenient to compile LLVM from source, because of
broken gcc's supplied in binary packages for many distributions (for
example, many Ubuntu's still have gcc 4.1.2 and so on). So, in general,
user should at first compile gcc, then - LLVM and llvm-gcc. This seems
to be pretty much overkill.

We're trying to provide as much possible binary packages as we can, but
this is not enough. It will be pretty good, if there will be packages
for.

If you can build binary/source for your distribution, you'll help LLVM
alot.
