I believe many projects have now switched to uncached downloads from
llvm.org/releases (Boost.Hana also does this uncached atm.). Caching on
e.g. Travis and CircleCI is not easily available for APT repositories; I
think that's why noone bothered. For simple file downloads it is much
easier, so perhaps a little explaining text can be added to the message on
llvm.org/apt .
Example Travis script with caching:
