remove llvm-toolchain-3.6 from zesty

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Lets track llvm-toolchain-3.6 removal

reverse-depends -r zesty -b src:llvm-toolchain-3.6

* clamav (for llvm-3.6-dev) -> needs merge
* indicator-location (for clang-format-3.6) -> tracked in bug #1637128
* julia (for llvm-3.6-dev) -> false positive
* lightspark (for llvm-3.6-dev) -> broken, I don't think we want it in the archive (see Debian status)
* oclgrind (for libclang-3.6-dev) -> needs some decruft/removals
* qtcreator (for libclang-3.6-dev) -> needs merge

The request seems fine but 1:3.6.2-4 seems to have been removed from sid. What's going on? Do we still want to sync it? (I presume copy-package can be persuaded to copy a deleted package...). If there are not going to be any more updates I guess there's not a lot of point...

[Michael Hudson-Doyle (mwhudson)]

In fact it seems once we merge clamav we can drop llvm-toolchain-3.6 entirely, or at least demote it from main.

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

I want it to be dropped of course :)

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

subscribing people working on clamav and qtcreator, because they are some showstoppers for llvm-toolchain-3.6 removal

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

we can't drop the delta, having to keep the renamed llvm library package.

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

there is *no* rename changes between debian and ubuntu
rmadison -u debian libllvm3.6v5
libllvm3.6v5 | 1:3.6.2-3 | testing | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel,

$ rmadison -u ubuntu libllvm3.6v5
libllvm3.6v5 | 1:3.6.2-3ubuntu2 | xenial | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x
libllvm3.6v5 | 1:3.6.2-3ubuntu4 | yakkety | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x
libllvm3.6v5 | 1:3.6.2-3ubuntu4 | zesty | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x

if you sync the -4 upload you will get *every* change needed
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/llvm-toolchain-3.6/1%3A3.6.2-4/
but the package is removed in Debian, so better remove it in Ubuntu too

The debian clamav development team has dropped llvm-3.6 dependancy from the latest clamav (soon to be merged) :

  * Drop llvm supported for now. The bytecode will be interpreted by clamav
    instead of llvm's JIT - there is loss in functionality. It will come back
    once we llvm support again (Closes: #839850).

So my suggestion is to drop it once the latest clamav is merged

[Expired for llvm-toolchain-3.6 (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]
