    From Louis Epstein@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 21 18:04:27 2022
    A lot of my applications running with FreeBSD 12
    apparently relay on LLVM 12 and 13 though 14 and
    15 are available...is there any particular reason
    this has not upgraded?

    -=-=-
    The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
    at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

    It has been updated in FreeBSD 13 and 14.

    What do you want?
    Stability? Then continue to run an old branch--but you can't have
    all the new toys.
    New toys? Then upgrade to a newer branch and deal with the changes.

    You can't have both.

    That said, there were a lot of commits to stable/12 to _allow_ to
    build it with newer clang versions. I don't know if there are plans
    to still update the compiler, though.

    Not on FreeBSD 12.x, where it's still LLVM 13.

    OK...I tend to go with trailing edge stability,
    was just wondering why the ports tree is running
    a couple of versions ahead of my applications.

    build it with newer clang versions. I don't know if there are plans
