That would be much appreciated! (You'd probably need to get the LLVM debs updated, too, IIRC they're quite old.) > I also might look into getting this into Gentoo Portage too. Alvaro Castro Castilla has already done a Gentoo ebuild of LLVM and Pure, see this thread here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=487DAE08.2070804%40t-online.de > The other major distro is Fedora, which I am not too keen on Fedora is RPM-based, so one could probably take Toni Graffy's comprehensive openSUSE packages (see the Q and Pure websites for pointers) and try to massage them so that they build on Fedora. However, there already are Q packages for Fedora by Gerard Milmeister, again see the Q website for pointers. Maybe one could convince Gerard to do packages for Pure as well. Anyone running Fedora here? > Would this effort be encouraged, Certainly! If you run into any problems, just post to the mailing list and we'll sort them out.
