[Pkg-gambas-devel] Bug#803647: Bug#803647: Bug#803647: No solution for llvm and gambas (for now)

[José Luis Redrejo Rodríguez]

Only while llvm-3.5 stays in sid, and even for that case it's not a good
policy. We can do it for the good of the users for sometime. Maybe gambas
developer will update the library in the meantime. If you agree I can do
it, if not the only solution is disabling llvm component from being built
in the packaging.
