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.
