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
