gcc has been out of date for ages...

I just wondered if this was normal because I'm not sure how the ALARM project does things compared to vanilla AL.

I hit a compiler bug while trying to build something and noticed that the gcc package was on v8.3.0. So I went to the PKGBUILDs repo to put in a PR to bump the version to v9.1.0, which is the latest upstream version and is available on standard Arch. But the thing is the version was already bumped over a month ago; it just seems that the new package hasn't found its way to users yet.

Is this because its still in some kind of testing repo or what?

Toolchain rebuilds are major; could be issues getting 9.1.0 to work for arm. I do not know if there is a developer mailing list for Arch ARM or something like that you can check (I don't think so). I also don't think there is a [testing] for it. You can see current commits on github. Maybe one of the devs will reply with better info.

Similar delay with firefox. Has been updated to version 68 but the repo is stuck on 67.

If a package hasn't made it into the repos, that means there are major problems with it on one or all arm architectures we support. It won't be made available until all major issues have been ironed out. No ETA will be given.
