[llvm-dev] Consider making build directories of the buildbots available

[via llvm-dev]

Ah, apologies,  I think I wasn't clear. I am talking about making object files available in this manner so that people can download them and compile just their changes without having to compile all of LLVM, thus reducing the barrier to entry. As far as I am aware, the releases on Github do not contain object files.

Perhaps these pages may help.

Hi LLVM devs,

As you are already aware, performing a clean build of LLVM requires considerable computing resources. This presents a barrier to entry for people who do not have access to large computers. Since the buildbots already regularly compile the LLVM codebase, making tarballs of their build directories available on a public facing server will dramatically reduce the barrier to entry. Is this something that the community is willing to consider?

Thanks,
