I co-maintain the LLVM package, and this is next on my TODO list.
Currently testing some configuration changes for OpenGTL and Pure. One
snag is that there is no stable release of clang yet, but I can work
around this by matching clang's revision number against LLVM's at the
time of release.

I'll probably start by doing an RPM of the LLVM 2.6 pre-release -- the
current clang ought to be much better than the one from a year ago.

Mail me off-list if you want to be notified when a build is ready for
testing? Address it to salimma at fedoraproject.org to help my mail
filters.
