[LLVM v3.8-rc2] New (tar)balls, please?

HiHo Hans,

sorry, but I cannot see any tarballs shipped in [2]?
Forgot to upload?

Would like to give this pre-release a try on my Ubuntu/precise AMD64 system.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sedat,

They're not ready yet. It takes a few days after we tag a release
candidate until all the binaries are ready and uploaded. There's a
small chance this will happen today, but more likely early next week.
I will send an email to the list when it's ready.

Cheers,
Hans

The binaries were just released:

Thanks.

Isn't it possible to upload the source tarballs first?
Or do you release all tarballs when the binaries are done?

I suppose it would be possible, but it's easier to publish the whole
thing at the same time, and I was thinking it's less confusing for
users too since then there's only one announcement of it being
available.

OK.
As there exist no prebuilt-toolchain for Ubuntu/precise I have to
compile by myself, so I am interested in the source-tarballs.

I did a quick test with compiling my intel-ddx [1] on Ubuntu/precise with...

Built fine and booted on my Ubuntu/precise AMD64 system.

( I can sent my kernel-config and patch-set files on request. )

P.S.: Some demonstration it booted on bare metal.
