Re: Differing archives on http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/ and ftp://sourceware.org/pub/binutils/releases/


Hi Bernhard,

Projects like Freetz http://freetz.org/ or OpenWrt http://openwrt.org
build customized firmware for DSL modems or router. The build systems
require old versions of binutils suitable for old kernel or uClibc
versions. An update is not possible due to closed source kernel modules
and binaries, which must be copied from the original firmware.

The build systems download binutils 2.18, check the MD5 hash and fail.
This is a today's issue.

Can the build systems download from the ftp.gnu.org site instead of the sourceware site ?

Cheers
  Nick
