Even if somebody takes care of backporting all needed changes (and this doesn't become too expensive due to the code diverging between master and 18.0) and none are missed, there's a good chance it won't work at any given time, due to the delay between the changes landing in master and 18.0. The alternative: Stick to "An LLVM SVN trunk snapshot requires a corresponding Git master snapshot", as we've been doing for years. It's a no-brainer to me... -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and X developer _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
