Re: putting bouncycastle 1.49 into backports?



Hi Daniel,

Backporting bouncycastle to wheezy is going to cause a lot of troubles
because the version 1.49 breaks a lot of reverse dependencies. See
#687694 for a glimpse of the work that was involved in the transition to
this new version.

A safe solution would be to create separate binary packages that doesn't
conflict with the stable packages.
