Running “$ zypper install llvm17-devel” on tumbleweed gives:
‘llvm17-devel’ not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of ‘llvm17-devel’ found.
I believe this used to work until recently - was llvm17-devel removed in favor of newer releases? Is there any documentation regarding the supported range of LLVM versions?
Try:
zypper se 'llvm*-devel'
See what comes back. I show 15, 18, 19, and 20 on my TW install.
I get the same, thanks. Is it expected that 17 disappeared?
I’ve found the following doc which, if I understand correctly, says that there was an update in this major version about a month ago - so it’s not completely dead: Optional update for llvm17 SUSE-OU-2025:1562-1 | SUSE Support | SUSE (or is this link unrelated to the zypper packages?)
I have no idea if it was expected or not. I’d probably check on the factory mailing list to see if there’s any mention of it - if you had it installed recently, knowing which snapshot it was might be helpful to identify who the maintainer is, and then you could ask them on build.o.o.
It could be that the build failed and hasn’t been noticed.
That particular update doesn’t list Tumbleweed, so it doesn’t apply to TW.
llvm17 got intentionally removed from factory:
A package search shows
llvm15
llvm18
llvm19
llvm20
