Status of GCC, LLVM, and Kernel updates for ARM64?

I noticed there haven’t been any recent updates for the latest GCC, LLVM, or Linux kernel packages on the ARM64 side. Are there updates planned for these packages in the Arch Linux ARM repositories?

Additionally, how can I switch my system from the Manjaro repositories over to the official Arch Linux ARM repositories to get these updates?

Not that I am aware of…

Thanks @linux-aarhus for your input:+1:

Please notice simply switching to or adding Arch repositories to get new packages won’t do. Manjaro is a different distro. You would need to convert your distro from Manjaro to Arch, but this is a complex operation. If you have separate partitions for home and root it could be simpler to install Arch to the root partition than trying to convert.

It is not complicated - I have done it on multiple occasions - both ways actually

  • Manjaro → Arch → Manjaro

It varies slightly with ARM devices - but not that much :slight_smile:

Nope, wasn’t aware it can be done. As it happens I have a clean VM to test :face_with_monocle:

I’m exploring the latest GCC and development tools to use with my single-board computer.

If anyone wants to give it a try—I’ve uploaded a fork of the build scripts that allows you to use the manjaro-arm build system, but with the alarm repositories. The changes were made using AI and tested by me on several of my devices. There are still a few improvements I’d like to make in the future (though I’m not sure if I actually will).
