Make LLVM 19.x available #155
Description
Activity
Thanks for the quick response
It seems I did all this work for nothing. But anyways, learned things along the way.
If SEO for NetBSD content was better I wouldn't have had to do it. Searching for "llvm 19 on NetBSD" brought up nothing.

While looking into how other operating systems package LLVM I discovered that FreeBSD has seperate packages for LLVM- devel/llvm18 and devel/llvm19 - for example.
I was able to make the packages in my repo to install in a different prefix than the official ones. I was able to install both LLVM 18 and 19 (for Zig stable and Zig master) on the same system. So it is not impossible to do.
With Zig 0.14 releasing on March 3rd, is there any plan to do something similar on NetBSD? Maybe a
lang/llvm18can be kept for problem packages andlang/llvm19can be made available for others?- added 2 commits that reference this issue

I needed LLVM 19.x to try Zig 0.14.0 dev so I had to edit it myself (my version available here https://github.com/hellium6/zig-master-netbsd). I kept them in separate directories ("llvm19" vs "llvm") for my use case.
The changes were not that difficult. It would be great to see it in repos.
If it causes trouble with other packages, maybe a separate "llvm19" package would be appropriate?
