In my 13.2-p9 I have llvm12,llvm13,and llvm15@default
installed,and apparently there are versions out to llvm18
in the ports collection along with an llvm-devel.

Is it possible to standardize on one at a time or do
individual ports dependences require different
versions?

When (in my trailing-edge policy) I eventually move
from an EOL 13.4 to 14.2 will the older LLVMs stop
working or being needed?

Do you build from ports or do you install packages?

Certain ports are tied to specific versions from time to time. This
keeps changing. I'm on 14.0-STABLE with llvm17 as the base system
compiler, and I only have an additional llvm15 installed, which was
still required for building firefox the last time I checked.

Over time, there's a tendency to accumulate llvm versions on your
system that aren't actually used for anything any longer.

Initial install usually from ports and subsequent
maintenance by synth and pkg upgrade with the synth
repository.

Hm,looks like llvm12 is now gone.
I have llvm13-13.0.1_7 and llvm15-15.0.7_10 in place.

I have upgraded the base OS to 13.2-RELEASE-p10.

Would llvm versions past 15 work?

My low-effort approach is this: When I see that the llvm ports will
be rebuilt anyway, I deinstall them. The ones actually required
as dependencies will come back, at no extra compile cost.

Work for what?
If a certain port has a fixed dependency on a particular llvm version
then having newer llvm versions installed doesn't affect this. For
instance, Firefox and Mesa require llvm15 at the moment.

Grepping for LLVM_VERSION over the ports tree shows that for all
llvm versions from 11 to 16, there's at least one port that wants
this particular version.

Well,last night I tried deleting llvm12 and got back a message
indicating that it wasn't there (normally I'd get a message
indicating what would be deleted along with it,if I recall
previous attempts correctly).

...and when I next launched X,I found it failed via segmentation
fault when I tried launching Seamonkey (I run Seamonkey,which is
no longer in the ports tree to my annoyance,for legacy reasons).
And I tried putting llvm12 back but now X won't launch at all
(first fails pointed to xorg.3.log and recent to xorg.0.log).

I can't think of anything else I did that would have made X
stop working but I'm doing a new synth prepare-system,will
see what results.

I've just been doing a long synth run that has had llvm12,
llvm13,
and llvm15@default building in parallel.

I noted that when llvm12 finished,
openjdk11 started (not having started before
despite open build channels).
When llvm15@default finished,
mesa-libs,
qt6-tools,
and firefox started.

At this writing llvm13 is still building.

Boot to single-user mode (2 in the boot menu). When you
get to the root# prompt.

For UFS2 system, do

# fsck -y
# fsck -y

I don't use ZFS, so don't know if the above matters.

# mount -a
# vi /etc/rc.conf
<comment out kld_list="radeaon_yada" line>
# sync
# exit

You should end up in a console, i.e., no X11 window.
Log in as root.

Assuming you have a populated /usr/ports,

% pkg info | grep kmod
drm-515-kmod-5.15.118_3
gpu-firmware-amd-kmod
...
gpu-firmware-radeon-kmod-verde

Then the OP can edit rc.conf and disable the kernel module broken

First rule of updating is that the kernel
and third-party modules must agree. This
means that drm-*-kmod needs to be recompiled
if you update your kernel.

If I get in your situtation, I typically rebuild everything
from source. So, first created a backup, then do

% cd /usr/src
% git stash
% git pull -ff
% git stash pop
% rm -rf /usr/obj/*
% make -j8 buildworld <-- I have 8 cores.
% make -j8 buildkernel
% make installkernel
<reboot in single user>
% mount -a
% etcupdate -p
% cd /usr/src
% make installworld
% etcupdate -B
% make delete-old
% make delete-old-lib <-- Only if I want a very clean world
<reboot without X11, so remove kld_load in rc.conf>

Now, the ports.

% cd /usr/ports
% git stash
% git pull -ff
% git stash pop
% make fetchindex
% pkg info | awk '{ print $1}' > pkg.txt
% pkg delete -f <all installed ports>ports-mgmt/pkg
<Inspect /usr/local for leftover junk>

The last command might complain about deleting port ports-mgmt/pkg,
delete it anyway.

% cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
% make clean && make -j8 && make install && make clean
% cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster
% make clean && make -j8 && make install && make clean
% rehash
% portmaster -Byd graphics/drm-515-kmod
% portmaster -Byd graphics/gpu-firmware-radeon-kmod

Choose the one from pkg.txt or use graphics/drm-kmod. The latter
will grab whatever FreeBSD thinks is required for your hardware.
You can now restore kld_load in rc.conf and reboot.

% portmaster -Byd x11-wm/fvwm3 x11/xauth x11/xinit x11/xterm

This is sufficient for me to use startx to fireup a fvwm3

Now, iterate over pkg.txt to install other packages, e.g.,

% portmaster -Byd math/octave <-- This installs 200+ ports

If one is rebuilding everything from ports, then one is
not dealing with the nightmare of dependencies from pre-built
packages (which may be out-of-sync given the dependency tree
and how the ports tree is managed) or from stale things in
a search path. There is also the possibility to tailor the
compiler options to match your hardware. Packages from a
repository are likely built to run a class of hardware,
which means reduced performance.

The other advantage of rebuilding everything from source
is that it is incremental. Install the bare minimum to get
a stable X11 window manager running, then add needed ports
while testing along the way. You'll find what is breaking
your setup.

Yep. It works until it doesn't. The dependency
tree for some ports can be rather involved and
pkg seems to lose track of the entire tree or
the dependencies are never recorded. Things may
have improved. I used 'pkg autoremove' once, and
it led to a few broken ports because of missing
shared libraries.

If one is dealing with an unstable system as OP
as indicated. Started with a completely bare
/usr/local may be prudent.

Either nothing at all starts,

What needs to be redone to again

If I get in your situtation, I typically rebuild everything

What in toto needs to be backed up?

% cd /usr/src
% git stash
% git pull -ff
% git stash pop
% rm -rf /usr/obj/*
% make -j8 buildworld <-- I have 8 cores.
% make -j8 buildkernel

I have a Core i7-3770K (4 cores 8 threads)

Now, the ports.

xinit has made no difference.

Either nothing at all starts,

attempting to launch an application

If I get in your situtation, I typically rebuild everything
from source. So, first created a backup, then do

What in toto needs to be backed up?

Anything that you may have customizied under /etc and
/usr/local/etc. If you made any customizations under
/usr/ports, the three commands should preserve those
when pulling an up-to-date tree.

% git stash <-- hide changes
% git pull -ff <-- update tree
% git stash pop <-- restore changes
