This policy is aimed at frequent contributors to LLVM. People interested in
contributing one-off patches can do so in an informal way by sending them to the
`llvm-commits mailing list
-<http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits>`_ and engaging another
+<http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits>`_ and engaging another
developer to see it through the process.
Developer Policies
-------------
Developers should stay informed by reading at least the "dev" mailing list for
-the projects you are interested in, such as `llvmdev
-<http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev>`_ for LLVM, `cfe-dev
-<http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev>`_ for Clang, or `lldb-dev
-<http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev>`_ for LLDB. If you are
+the projects you are interested in, such as `llvm-dev
+<http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/llvm-dev>`_ for LLVM, `cfe-dev
+<http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev>`_ for Clang, or `lldb-dev
+<http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev>`_ for LLDB. If you are
doing anything more than just casual work on LLVM, it is suggested that you also
subscribe to the "commits" mailing list for the subproject you're interested in,
such as `llvm-commits
-<http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits>`_, `cfe-commits
-<http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits>`_, or `lldb-commits
-<http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/lldb-commits>`_. Reading the
+<http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits>`_, `cfe-commits
+<http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits>`_, or `lldb-commits
+<http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/lldb-commits>`_. Reading the
"commits" list and paying attention to changes being made by others is a good
way to see what other people are interested in and watching the flow of the
project as a whole.
We recommend that active developers register an email account with `LLVM
Bugzilla <http://llvm.org/bugs/>`_ and preferably subscribe to the `llvm-bugs
-<http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmbugs>`_ email list to keep track
+<http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/llvm-bugs>`_ email list to keep track
of bugs and enhancements occurring in LLVM. We really appreciate people who are
proactive at catching incoming bugs in their components and dealing with them
promptly.
#. You are granted *commit-after-approval* to all parts of LLVM. To get
approval, submit a `patch`_ to `llvm-commits

you may commit it yourself.

When a developer begins a major new project with the aim of contributing it back

possible. The reason for this is to:
#. keep the community informed about future changes to LLVM,
``test/Bitcode/compatibility.ll``.
* The bitcode format produced by a X.Y release will be readable by all
- following X.Z releases and the (X+1).0 release. To help ensure this, an X.Y
- version of ``test/Bitcode/compatibility.ll`` should be assembled and
- committed after each release.

* Newer releases can ignore features from older releases, but they cannot
miscompile them. For example, if nsw is ever replaced with something else,
