Dear Caleb, Do you know that there is some human intervention in the process to make these packages? those humans who are in the process called devs, trusted users, etc .. If you want the last version of _perl_ (or any other package) and it's not on the repos yet, you can compile yourself, share it with the pkgbuilds (if you want), or just wait until this or those human(s) have a free time to make the package(s) and do the tests, or you want a broken package but _updated_ ?. So, following that list of possible actions, _complaining_, because we don't have the last version of XX package won't do anything and is the last action that you should take, is wrong, and be sure that doesn't make any pressure for the guy who is on charge to package it :). So, you have two options, wait until the release, or compile yourself .. complains please send it to /dev/null :) Thanks.. P.S: When KDE and gcc were released on the time, I didn't found a mail of you saying a something like 'congratulations'.. if you will complain .. you should be grateful when the things works as you're expected (specially if these things are for free -even if you pay you will have to wait btw-). -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Developer / Trusted User Linux Counter: #359909 http://www.angvp.com
