This is not an issue, if you are asking how to downgrade a package, please read the appropriate section in the handbook or ask in the appropriate place.

Michael to "downgrade" in void-packages is not the same as with pkgdb so here is the correct place to ask about it as not docu/imple/mented with xbps-src it is an issue here.

Could you explain why you want void-packages to downgrade binutils to 2.35? Every single package seems to build and work fine and it is part of the toolchain, so I am not sure that's even possible. We definitely do not want to do it without a very good reason. I am not sure what you want void-packages to document. Documenting reverting a commit and checking out at a specific commit hash is not in scope of void-packages and fixing all of the other packages to properly work with the old version is not something that can be documented.

re as i wrote 2.35 give smaller binary executables as i want to rebuild all packages with -Os -flto and elses then sstrip of https://github.com/BR903/ELFkickers to remove unused space on it before install on my devices as you wrote that in void-packages individual packages are not handled the issue is on the design... thanks Michael

Do you have a comparison between packages built with each version? We will definitely not downgrade a core package like this just because one user prefers it. Void may not be the best choice for you, I think that the space saved by using an old version will be tiny if any and not splitting docs and manpages to subpackages will be a much bigger issue.

not yet i have to install an other void os and extract your build process from void-packages before anyway i didn't ask for a downgrade in the distro yet split docs and manpages sound horrible ...
