249
John Criswell0f6d7c02003-10-27 18:18:16 +0000[diff] [blame]250There are three mailing lists for providing LLVM users with information:
251
252<ol>
253 <li> LLVM Announcements List:<br>
254 <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-announce">
255 http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-announce</a>
256
257 <p>
258 This is a low volume list that provides important announcements regarding
259 LLVM. It is primarily intended to announce new releases, major updates to
260 the software, etc. This list is highly recommended for anyone that uses
261 LLVM.
262 </p>
263
264 <li> LLVM Developers List:<br>
265 <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev">
266 http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev</a>
267
268 <p>
269 This list is for people who want to be included in technical discussions
270 of LLVM. People post to this list when they have questions about writing
271 code for or using the LLVM tools. It is relatively low volume.
272 </p>
273
274 <li> LLVM Commits List<br>
275 <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits">
276 http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits</a>
277
278 <p>
279 This list contains all commit messages that are made when LLVM developers
280 commit code changes to the CVS archive. It is useful for those who want to
281 stay on the bleeding edge of LLVM development. This list is very high
282 volume.
