| F15 Rants - Talking To The Wind A place to gnash your teeth and vocalize your issues with F15, such as the default Wallpaper, Gnome3 and LibreOffice. Sure, the proper procedure is to use Bugzilla or subscribe to the Devs mailing lists at Fedora Project, but if you simply want to complain with no effect, here's your spot! |

Outdated rpm packages for llvm/clang are still the part of F15
Fedora is supposedly a cutting edge distro, which means it is supposed to allow people to install recently released software. If it's true, then why llvm/clang 2.9 are still not included in F15? F15 only includes llvm/clang 2.8.

But think about gnome-3.0.1. It came out very recently, yet it's already a part of fedora.

The shell that gnome 3 is based on was tested by fedora users(me included) over a year ago.
PS> it was fun to use the shell when you could switch back to gnome 2.xx.

llvm for all its coolness is mostly just another compiler. Gnome 3 on the other hand is a whole different desktop and gives new capability that gnome 2 doesn't have. So there's more interest in getting Gnome 3 into Fedora 15 than the very latest version of llvm.
Basically there's not much that llvm 2.9 can do that you can't do just fine with llvm 2.8, but Gnome 3 is very different from Gnome 2.x

3.0.1 is a bug fix release. A new major version of LLVM is a system component change and requires testing and has compatibility differences. Not quite the same thing. Fedora follows the update policy at
