There's no official FSF 14.2.1 release - it may just be like Alire,
which only handles 3 levels, so they call the first packaging of 14.2.0
14.2.1. If you say 'gcc -v' it'll probably say 14.2.0.

I see some potential for confusion, since there almost certainly will be
an official gcc 14.2.1 release in the near future.  That official
release will include code that's not included in what Fedora calls gcc
14.2.1.  It's a point release, so I wouldn't expect substantial changes,
but still, I think Fedora should use a different naming scheme.

I have this vague memory that 14.2.1 is a draft for 14.3.0, and that GCC
never has .1 _releases_. In the same way that 15.0.0 migrates to 15.0.1
before the 15.1.0 release.

Yes, see [1], section "Version Numbering Scheme for GCC 5 and Up".

Also, in gcc-mirror on github, gcc/BASE-VER in the releases/gcc-14
branch [2] holds 14.2.1.
