LLVM Core and Clang imported into OpenBSD-current
http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=artic...panded&count=2
https://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n...s-LLVM-To-Base originally communicated via openbsd-cvs mailing list date 2016-09-03 22:47:02. Added: I think this may bring some hope for some AMD GPU users. The graphics driver consist of kernel driver but also some parts in userspace. The most complex part of userspace driver is Mesa. Actually Mesa driver for newer AMD GPU needs LLVM and this was a blocker for AMD GPU, because parts of Xenocara can't depend on anything from ports/packages. On the other side upstream Mesa driver had been constantly following newest releases of LLVM and I don't know if LLVM in base will constantly follow newest upstream LLVM releases. If not, it will not make change in long term for AMD GPU users.

There are some concerns about license of LLVM in future.
Some people in upstream LLVM community want change license to Apache 2 with explicit GPLv2 compatibility. http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=147500019026245&w=2 Quote:
