Dear Harley,

I would suggest you to write to llvm-dev as this mailing list deals
with infrastructure issues and not with code itself.

Downloading the release for Ubuntu 18.04 and using it on 20.04 is fine, but it requires (via numerous Stackoverflow and GitHub issues posts) users to additionally download libncurses5 so as to fix a “missing library” error.

For example, clang++ is unable to find C++ std headers when -stdlib=libc++ is enabled, and apt.llvm.org provides little information on how to fetch the missing parts. (Admittedly, Linux users tend to use libstdc++).

The releases are provided by project volunteers. I'm among the ones who usually provide binaries for Ubuntu and I apologize for not getting a 20.04 release built for 10.0.0. 

I can produce one for 10.0.1 now but release owners aren't always keen about taking them far after release time.

Or the binary could be uploaded to a server capable for that download. This page, option 3, suggests a way to upload large files to GitHub.
