Hello.
I mean i have no problem with turning CRUX into a rolling release,
practically, but i just do not have the stamina / time for the
many overlays necessary to have "my own perl" ("my own python",
etc) -- it affects so many other things.
Also gcc 14.1 was released, 3.8 is still 13.2 (i am, too).
I thought i maybe update locally, ArchLinux went to
pkgver=14.1.1+r1+g43b730b9134
_commit=43b730b9134af60a8f1c5b107d625f7127ff23c5
(note AlpineLinux moved gcc to gcc-13.2.1_git20240309.., they
always have these git snapshots for years .. on [edge] it says
# secfixes:
# 13.2.1_git20231014-r0:
# - CVE-2023-4039).
'Seems to me that moving away from regular gcc balls to git
snapshots seems a good direction, others do this for years, and
gcc itself does simply not release bugfix updates for some time,
(years; literally, as long as i look) it seems.
It is not my problem, but i see you merging 3.7 into 3.8 all the
time, you surely have tools for all the conflicts..
I would remark that having "depends on:" for perl and python, and
having "needs rebuild for:" to have easily addressable inter-
dependencies would be a cool thing for the future that CRUX
hopefully has.
Ciao,
