Description Brooks Davis freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-08-08 22:15:46 UTC 
I'd like to remove the ancient llvm and clang 3.5 ports, but the current gnome-builder depends on them.  Newer version of gnome-builder seem to support at least somewhat never llvm versions, but the documentation is a bit thin.  I've not tried doing an update as the build system has changed to CMake so the port will need some changes.

This problem will be resolved then the GNOME 3.28 update lands.

GNOME Builder doesn't really depend on a specific LLVM version, and the reason that both GNOME Builder and Meson have a hard-coded list of LLVM versions are that FreeBSD doesn't have an unversioned 'llvm-config' executable. I have sent patches to GNOME Builder upstream several times to expand the list, and all are done without any code changes.
Comment 4 Ruslan Makhmatkhanov freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-08-20 12:01:07 UTC 
Right now it actually depends upon clang35:

./build/autotools/autoconf.d/pre-am.m4:m4_define(clang_major_required_version, 3)
./build/autotools/autoconf.d/pre-am.m4:m4_define(clang_minor_required_version, 5)

and it looks like it's easy to change these two values to test. But my gnome environment and gnome-builder itself are from gnome 3.26, so I can't test this 3.16 version reliable to change the clang/llvm dependency.

It was switched to devel/llvm60 in r480951
