More than half the commits are llvm's. (llvm-only mirror repo 175k, llvm super-repo 310k) So it adds to the clone, but not that much. The point is something else: - llvm-mirror is not an official repo, and may become stale/unmaintained - llvm-mirror does not have version tags, so we can't trace commit ids to the releases, or track upstream development with automatic tools I think these two things outweigh the extra clone overhead. > > I'll make a patch to switch over to that. > > > > Also note that final 8.0 is not yet out, so the recipe shouldn't make > > it look like it is. > > This is intentional too. > Its in rc stages and there are no specific chages espcially in > versioning schemes > which will mark it rc etc. What I mean is there is no mention whatsoever that the recipe is currently building a pre-release. It's not in PV, it's not anywhere in the recipe. This can mislead people.
