Actually Debian's rolling release is newer than Arch, 5.3.1: https://packages.debian.org/source/testing/gcc-5 https://packages.debian.org/source/testing/gcc-5

  That's in testing though. Arch has 5.3.0 in core already. Not sure where the .1 comes from since it's not even released yet according to https://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html https://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html Edit: Actually it looks like the versions are just named differently. Debian uses SVN version from 20151205, while Arch uses 20160209. So Arch is more fresh (by 2 months), but uses different naming convention.

      Except it's not, it's for testing. Testing doesn't always get security fixes in a timely manner. Read more at: https://www.debian.org/security/faq#testing https://www.debian.org/security/faq#testing

      Testing isn't a rolling release, that's sid / unstable. Testing is where the next stable (currently Stretch) is being worked out.
