* Switch to python-style compat/main packages. In order to make the packaging more consistent between the main package (e.g. llvm) and the compat package (e.g. llvm18), we would retire the un-versioned dist-git for llvm, and create a new versioned dist-git for each new release (e.g. llvm19, llvm20, llvm21 etc.). We would then designate one of these as the 'main version', and that version would produce binary rpms that look like the current main package (i.e. llvm-libs instead of llvm19-libs).Ehh? I guess? I don't think this buys us that much.* Invert the order of compat/main packages. Instead of having the compat package be the old version, and the main package be the new version, we would have the compat package be newer and the main package be older. This would allow us to introduce a new version of llvm without impacting other packages that depend on the main version of LLVM.I don't like this idea, it makes things harder to reason about and doesn't actually solve any problems.
I concur with Neal here.I we were living in ideal world, we would have just one `llvm` package. Since we are not living in ideal world, it makes sense to have some compat versions. But we should try to get as close as possible to ideal world. Versioning packages by default goes against that goal, because it encourages sticking to some specific version for no particular reason.
