[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1055527: castxml: Please update llvm/clang to llvm-17 in unstable

[Witold Baryluk]

Package: castxml
Version: 0.6.2-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: witold.baryluk at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

castxml is using llvm-14

would be nice to bump this to 17 in unstable / testing. Unless there is
some autoupgrade comming in few next weeks.

On my system there are still few programs still depending directly on
llvm-14 (afl++, castxml, bpftrace, doxygen and python3-numba via
python3-llvmlite),  (ldc and doxygen in unstable already migrated to
llvm-16)

There is ongoing llvm-14-rm transition going

https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/llvm-14-rm.html


We do have llvm-15 in stable, llvm-16 in testing and unstable, and
llvm-17 in unstable (since 2023-10-30, so few days ago).

llvm-17 will likely migrate to testing in few days. Would be nice to
update castxml to use it. Upstream for version 0.6.2 says llvm 17 is
supported.

If llvm-17 does not migrate, updating to llvm-16 is another option.

(alpha port can be ignored, as it is on ancient version of castxml
anyway, and llvm cannot be bootstreapped on it for a long time anyway).


Regards,
Witold
