Re: Wheezy update of binutils?

[Ola Lundqvist <ola@inguza.com>]

Hi

This was interesting information. Do you know the background why they were not accepted?

I mean if this has been a known problem and the release team rejected it maybe we should not do an update. Are there backwards compatibility problems?

Best regards
