2018-01-18 - Kernels, Systemd, Pamac, KDE FW, Haskell, Python (Testing Update)

[Blueriver]

Hi community,

upstream worked again on the Spectre and Meltdown matter and added Retpoline patches (v4.4, v4.9, v4.14, v4.15). Our GCC compiler is still in need for those patches aswell. We also updated Systemd to the lastest available version, added some needed fixes to Pamac, added KDE Framework v5.42, plus the usual Haskell and Python upgrades.

Our effort and all the needed information about the new security risk can be found here.

So please report back and give us feedback for given changes made to our repositories. Users of our 32-bit Distro should read this.
