Greetings
Debian has been holding back updates on language updates like GCC for some 3 or more months at this point. I had been waiting to update my system hoping that I could get things all together as it were. Today I bit the bullet and upgraded a whole bunch of stuff.
Anyone know why this, imho important, software is being held with no updates for so long?
I think the GCC maintainers have been focused on getting gcc-10 ready in Bullseye: https://lists.debian.org/debian-gcc/2020/07/msg00001.html So I suspect unless there were security issues, they've been working on that in sid and testing. Cheers, Jamon
