http://llvm.org/apt/precise/ broken for 3.4?

Hi all,

I use the nightly builds of LLVM in my Travis CI configuration. Travis CI is based on Ubuntu 12.04 precise.

Currently, I am not able to install llvm-3.4 and llvm-3.4-dev. The error is always:

$ sudo apt-get install llvm-3.4 llvm-3.4-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package llvm-3.4
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'llvm-3.4'
E: Unable to locate package llvm-3.4-dev
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'llvm-3.4-dev'

The configuration should be ok because it worked until December and it still works with llvm-3.5.

I am able to install llvm-3.4 on saucy. Is this a problem with the precise build?

These are the scripted commands:
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://llvm.org/apt/precise/ llvm-toolchain-precise main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
wget -O - http://llvm.org/apt/llvm-snapshot.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update -qq
sudo apt-get install -qq llvm-3.4 llvm-3.4-dev

Help is welcome.

Regards,
Kai

Hi Kai,

Those packages are built and maintained by downstream packagers, most likely at Ubuntu. They’re not provided by the LLVM project.

No, Sylvestre Ledru maintains http://llvm.org/apt. He would be the one to know.

Hello,

Yes, I maintain them. However, as I explained here:
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2013-December/068999.html

The switch to C++11 and gcc 4.8 being not available under Precise or other Ubuntu/Debian version
makes me consider to drop the support of these Debian/Ubuntu releases to focus only on the one with
gcc 4.8...

Until then, using the backport of gcc 4.8
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ppa
might fix your problem.

Sorry about,
Sylvestre
