where did old clang compilers go?

[Christopher Jones]

Hi,

llvm-3.9 has been removed by its maintainer

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/8470ccfcdae5c31638c4c5bc2b24ee05e4a2a95b#diff-97ff44bf54510d4cdb81b823e6bfe97c <https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/8470ccfcdae5c31638c4c5bc2b24ee05e4a2a95b#diff-97ff44bf54510d4cdb81b823e6bfe97c>

clang 8 is marked as the replacement.

If you disagree with this, you need to follow up with the maintainer via trac tickets etc.

Chris
