[Pkg-julia-devel] Bug#753971: Bug#753971: Bug#753971: julia: Please update the llvm dependency from 3.3 to 3.4 (or better, llvm-dev)

[Viral Shah]

Julia support for LLVM 3.4 is only experimental and we will probably go
directly to 3.5.

Is it an option to include 3.3 in the Julia package in that case?
