Description Anton Shterenlikht 2018-12-01 19:02:00 UTC 
I happily used Flang 5 on FreeBSD 11.
Now that devel/flang has been updated to 6, it
is only available on FreeBSD 12:

devel/flang[-clang]: update to later snapshots

This introduces flang-driver, a clang6-derived driver / companion compiler, and
uses math/libpgmath as the math library backend. Notably, the latter currently
limits us to 12-CURRENT.

Patches are a combination of carry-over and adapted OpenBSD ones.

While there, pet portlint.

This is not ok!
Please enable flang 5 on FreeBSD 11,
maybe create devel/flang5, and devel/flang-clang5.

Thank you!

It is clear that the future is the clang6-based flang with libpgmath. I will not maintain an outdated version of flang for FBSD 11. I encourage submission of patches to make the newer flang buildable on FBSD 11.
