That made things a lot clearer, I was a bit concerned that it would "pollute" /usr being described as a package manager. While there are no restrictions on packaged applications in terms of operation (excluding harmful software etc) it's good if we can keep installed files from packages unaltered and not trying to "work around" the ports framework whenever possible.

Can you elaborate a bit on why this is needed as it seemingly will interfere with our own package framework? It's not possible to package plugins directly?

LGTM, thanks for your contributions!

Thanks, I got a bit confused about their "sub-projects". Patch looks good and queued for commit.

What's the real life approach with this change? Are we going to stick to using default version in ports tree of LLVM? If doable is that supported by upstream and if not who is going to take care of fallouts? If not, are we going to track upstream instead and is it worth the effort of unbundling LLVM as there like will be a handful of ports depending on the same (recent) version of LLVM?
