Make LLVM 19.x available

[hellium6]

I needed LLVM 19.x to try Zig 0.14.0 dev so I had to edit it myself (my version available here https://github.com/hellium6/zig-master-netbsd). I kept them in separate directories ("llvm19" vs "llvm") for my use case.

The changes were not that difficult. It would be great to see it in repos.

If it causes trouble with other packages, maybe a separate "llvm19" package would be appropriate?

You can use wip/llvm from pkgsrc-wip. It is at version 19.1. I think the update in pkgsrc itself is in progress, but there are some issues about compatibility with Rust, Chromium, etc.

Thanks for the quick response

It seems I did all this work for nothing. But anyways, learned things along the way.

If SEO for NetBSD content was better I wouldn't have had to do it. Searching for "llvm 19 on NetBSD" brought up nothing.

...but there are some issues about compatibility with Rust, Chromium, etc.

While looking into how other operating systems package LLVM I discovered that FreeBSD has seperate packages for LLVM- devel/llvm18 and devel/llvm19 - for example.

I was able to make the packages in my repo to install in a different prefix than the official ones. I was able to install both LLVM 18 and 19 (for Zig stable and Zig master) on the same system. So it is not impossible to do.

With Zig 0.14 releasing on March 3rd, is there any plan to do something similar on NetBSD? Maybe a lang/llvm18 can be kept for problem packages and lang/llvm19 can be made available for others?
