These packages are not supporting clang as alternative compiler. Rather by exploiting clang interfaces that have no gcc analog they offer exciting IDE-like features. They nonetheless encourage people to switch from GCC to Clang. The features may be useful but this way of providing them hurts our cause. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
