LLVM {release} Release

# A note on binaries
# Package Types

Volunteers make binaries for the LLVM project, which will be uploaded
when they have had time to test and build these binaries. They might
not be available directly or not at all for each release. We suggest
you use the binaries from your distribution or build your own if you
rely on a specific platform or configuration."""
).format(release)
Each platform has one binary release package. The file name starts with either `LLVM-` or `clang+llvm-` and ends with the platform's name. For example, `LLVM-{release}-Linux-ARM64.tar.xz` contains LLVM binaries for Arm64 Linux.

Except for Windows. Where `LLVM-` is an installer intended for using LLVM as a toolchain and `clang+llvm-` contains the contents of the installer, plus libraries and tools not normally used in a toolchain. You most likely want the `LLVM-` installer, unless you are developing software which itself uses LLVM, in which case choose `clang+llvm-`.

If you do not find a release package for your platform, you may be able to find a community built package on the LLVM Discourse forum thread for this release. Remember that these are built by volunteers and may not always be available.

If you rely on a platform or configuration that is not one of the defaults, we suggest you use the binaries that your platform provides, or build your own release packages.

In addition, source archives are available:
* `<sub-project>*.src.tar.xz` are archives of the sources of specific sub-projects of `llvm-project` (except for `test-suite` which is an archive of the [LLVM Test Suite](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-test-suite)).
* To get all the `llvm-project` source code for this release, choose the one of the `Source Code` archives."""
