Thanks for the clarifications, Jonas.

I am in contact with the Debian maintainer who uploads to
<apt.llvm.org> and the official Debian repositories.
Debian/experimental offers a clang-7 (1:7~+rc2-1~exp1).

As I did my Linux kernel (last: v4.18.5) experiments with my selfmade
llvm-toolchain from Git...

# clang --version
clang version 7.0.0 (https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang.git
deea4eee5de7c93740402afdb85a595635c78606)
(https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm.git
98aa61ba49b54902a7afc27c9aa6c562646be76f)
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/bin

...I will do my 1st Linux v4.19-rc1 run with this one.

Be patient for the officially announced tarballs or try the packages
from Debian/experimental?
For now, I will not change my llvm-toolchain.

Thanks.
