Why source not use https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-$VER.tar.xz
?
@eatradish Like Glibc and GCC, fixes are pushed to the release branch and they don’t tend to release further patch releases. Not our fault.
@MingcongBai For better understanding of our policy for this particular case, could you give us some examples of what kind of fixes we need beyond the releases they tagged?
@LionNatsu https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/binutils-2_33-branch As you can see, more fixes are commited after the last tag (2.33.1).
@MingcongBai It's a calendar actually. Nah, just joking.
@LionNatsu Well actually if you look at GCC (which is really the worst offender here)... Emm, it's still (mostly) a calendar, but hey, less work for us.
Dropping shared libbfd in next Core patch release (forgotten).
Done.
I noticed that the file names of our bindutils all have date names like
/usr/lib/libbfd-2.33.1.20191220.so
, which seems to cause some problems, such as https://github.com/AOSC-Dev/aosc-os-abbs/issues/2072 .
