Hi Hans, Thanks a lot for the effort. I'm curious if binaries for other systems will appear there (Ubuntu, macOS)? Also, more general question: I see that different releases have different sets of pre-built binaries, so I'm curious what are the reasons behind? I'm a bit curious as well. I would expect this to be an automated process but since every single release of LLVM has binaries for different platforms or versions available compared to the previous release I looks like a manual process.

Yes, it's a manual process. The binaries are build and tested by volunteers, and the set of folks who volunteers differs a little between releases.

The pre-built binaries are really mostly for users who want to try out the release quickly. We expect most users to get the compiler through their distro (except on Windows where these are the official binaries).
