This is a low volume list that provides important announcements regarding -LLVM. It is primarily intended to announce new releases, major updates to the -software, etc. This list is highly recommended for anyone that uses -LLVM.
+This list is for people who want to be included in technical discussions of -LLVM. People post to this list when they have questions about writing code for -or using the LLVM tools. It is relatively low volume.
+This list contains all commit messages that are made when LLVM developers -commit code changes to the CVS archive. It is useful for those who want to -stay on the bleeding edge of LLVM development. This list is very high -volume.
+-
+
- The +LLVM Announcements List: This is a low volume list that provides important +announcements regarding LLVM. It gets email about once a month. + +
- The Developer's +List: This list is for people who want to be included in technical +discussions of LLVM. People post to this list when they have questions about +writing code for or using the LLVM tools. It is relatively low volume. + +
- The Bugs & +Patches Archive: This list gets emailed every time a bug is opened and +closed, and when people submit patches to be included in LLVM. It is higher +volume than the LLVMdev list. + +
- The CVS Commits +Archive: This list contains all commit messages that are made when LLVM +developers commit code changes to the CVS archive. It is useful for those who +want to stay on the bleeding edge of LLVM development. This list is very high +volume. + +
- The +Test Results Archive: A message is automatically sent to this list by every +active nightly tester when it completes. As such, this list gets email several +times each day, making it a high volume list. + +
