Hi,
First off, I’m new to this mailing list so please forgive me if I’m posting to the wrong one. I have a quick question about the llvm 3.8.1 release. http://llvm.org/ indicates that 3.8.1 was released on June 15, but there is no download link for it? Also, when you sync to the 3.8.0 tag, in svn or the git mirror, it seems that there are commits passed the 3.8.0 release. Does that mean that the tag is actually for 3.8.1? I’m a little confused. Thanks.
Del
Hi Del,
Yes, the tag is for the latest stable release. It’s a bit confusing, we may have to change that later.
Regarding the release, it was tested a while ago, but Tom is a bit late, that’s all.
I think due to a matter of contingency, we may need to appoint a secondary release manager to handle such delays. After all, people do have the right to have personal issues once in a while. 
Cheers,
Renato
OK, so, if I understand, the tag is at 3.8.1, but there is no source drop available for download?
Del
Not yet, publicly at least. Are you waiting for something specific in 3.8.1? If not, there isn’t much difference from 3.8.0, using that should be fine.
Cheers,
Renato
We were using 3.8.0, and found several bugs. We wanted to see if 3.8.1 fixes them.
Del
Did you report the bugs? It would be a lot easier to know if those were in bugzilla, and tracked against 3.8.0.
If not, there’s still time to report them before 3.9.0 branches out.
Cheers,
Renato
We just wanted to check to see if they are real bugs first. We will report them if they are not already fixed. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm working on uploading all the packages now.

I've downloaded them files several times from different locations (suspected
my webgw might muck with the content) using different clients and the result
is the same:

For the "bad" files, sizes are much smaller then their v3.8.0 counterparts:
$ du -sh llvm-3.8.*
16M llvm-3.8.0.src.tar.xz
224K llvm-3.8.1.src.tar.xz
$ du -sh lldb-3.8.*
11M lldb-3.8.0.src.tar.xz
12K lldb-3.8.1.src.tar.xz
Perhaps the files didn't finish uploading?
Cheers,
-Tom

indicates that 3.8.1 was released on June 15, but there is no download
link for it? Also, when you sync to the
3.8.0 tag, in svn or the git mirror, it seems that there are commits
passed the 3.8.0 release. Does that mean

That's odd. They indeed look too small....

Any update here? We're coming up on 1 month past the scheduled release. I've been pending a bunch of other changes in MacPorts to coincide with the 3.8.1 update to limit rebuild churn for our users. Had I known that it would be delayed by a month, I would've landed those other changes in May. It's very important to maintain an accurate schedule and keep downstream projects well informed. For the past month, the 3.8.1 release has seemed to be perpetually right around the corner.

It looks like the links were added to the landing page, but the issue with the release tarballs being incompletely copied doesn't seem to have been resolved completely.
compiler-rt and clang-tools-extra are 404ing:
http://www.llvm.org/releases/3.8.1/compiler-rt-3.8.1.src.tar.xz
