There is no single 6.3.1 version, 6.3.1 is any snapshot between 6.3 and 6.4, either (rarely) one of the many weekly snapshots from ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/snapshots/, or (much more often) just a snapshot from SVN or git. Plus often the distro versions of GCC contain additional patches. BTW, the version is often also accompanied with a date and additional details like: gcc version 6.3.1 20161221 (Red Hat 6.3.1-1) (GCC) so you also know quickly at least the date at which the upstream snapshot was merged. > Or is it unknown - at what point of GCC 6 branch development the distro > maintainers have cloned their GCC? If for whatever reason you need to have details on this, you need to look at what actually is included and see if there is any metadata (e.g. SVN revision or git hash) from where this was taken. Some distros also use vendor branches in upstream SVN or git or their own repositories with additional changes which are periodically synced from the upstream release branch. E.g. for Fedora in gcc.spec file there is a SVN revision number and details how to check out the snapshot from branches/redhat/gcc-N-branch and the commit messages on that branch (or svn:mergeinfo property on .) tell you what revisions from corresponding upstream branches/gcc-N-branch have been merged in. > 13.06.2017, 01:39, "Jonathan Wakely" <jwakely....@gmail.com>: > > On 12 June 2017 at 19:37, info rmer wrote: > >> A lot of Linux distributions have gcc 6.3.1 available, or even > >> preinstalled. > >> However, I am not able to find any info about 6.3.1 at the official GCC > >> pages at gnu org. > > > > See https://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html#num_scheme > > Sadly this num_scheme link does not contain any mention to 6.3.1 Why should it? It explains the numbering scheme, which applies equally to any other numbers (5+). Jakub
