Dear Maintainer,

We would like to remove llvm-toolchain-17 and this package uses LLVM 17.
Please update to 19 (preferred) or 18

Thanks
Sylvestre

Please also get rid of the unnecessary llvm-* Build-Dependencies when updating the llvm version.

we can't do that unless we stop shipping GCC 13, or reverting the
removal of the gcn* targets in LLVM 18.  So probably you should start
working on getting these targets back into LLVM 18 or LLVM 19.

Hi,
I don't see in the changelog for llvm 18 or 19 that the targets were removed, so
perhaps the removal was unintentional? Sylvestre, can those be added back, so
that amdgcn-tools can move to a newer llvm? This is one of the last blockers for
the removal of llvm-toolchain-17 from trixie.

Cheers,
Emilio

  Nothing was removed in the Debian packaging. Instead, some support was removed
from LLVM upstream, and GCC 13 build crashes on that. LLVM 18 and 19 and 20
still have the gcn targets, and amdgcn-tools can use them (there is even a
amdgcn-tools-19 package).

  So I don't think this bug #1092643 has value. There is nothing to re-add to
LLVM. All the real content is in the original bug #1084066 from which this one
was split.
