Hello,

llvmlite barely managed to be updated to llvm-15, and then llvm-15 was
removed from Debian.

There's a bit of work on llvmlite to support llvm19
https://github.com/numba/llvmlite/pull/1092
but it looks like it doesn't work yet.

Unfortunately for a number of python tools, numba can't be installed
without llvmlite, and I'm not sure how we can have a version of
llvmlite available for the next release?

It can be built against llvm-15, but we'd somehow need that to be added
back to python, and then there's hoping that llvmlite could be updated
to llvm-19.

After writing this email I'm going to try building the llvm19 branch to
see what happens but as all the reported tests had failed, and the logs
had been deleted, I don't have high hopes.

Do you have any ideas of what could be done to help get a version of
llvmlite that works with numba into Debian?

Diane
