[arch-general] out of date packages - an observation

[Genes Lists]

After the recent dicsussion(s) around this topic I thought it
worthwhile to go through where things stand.

I went through all the packages flagged out of date on the website
and focused on what I viewed as the "more important" ones (this is IMHO
 of course ... I'm sure others have differnt views). Regardless of how
 out of date a package is, if a new package was in testing I did not
include it here.

Of those that passed my sufficiently important filter:

I found only 2 packages more than 1 week old and 3 less than a week - 2
of which were released upstream today. One is more than 9 months out of
date (refind-efi).

Here's what I found orderd most out of date at the top..  


refind-efi - Arch vesion 0.9.2 as of 9/22/2015 
          - Upstream has 0.10.3 from 4/24/2016  
          - this one is very out of date -
          - be good to have this updated.  

openssl - Arch has 1.0.2.h - Out of date as of 8/25/2016  
       - 1.1.0 was released upstream on 8/25/2016  
        

dkms    - Out of date as of 9/1/2016  
       - Arch Package website refers to dell.com should be changed 
         to https://github.com/dell/  

util-linux - 2.28.2 was released today - 
           - arch has 2.28.1 released 8/11/2016     

linux   - 4.7.3 is out of date as of today
