Re: [trinity-devel] TDE strict dependency on binutils in Debian Jessie/Wheezy

Doing a full rebuild when binutils gets updated is not a huge problem after all, so we could keep the tight dependency if we really need it. On the other hand this could become an issue for users of Debian Stable (and Ubuntu I guess) who uses only official TDE releases and not the nightly builds. If there is an update for Stable, the users would be unable to update their binutils package until a new TDE release using the same binutils version is available. Perhaps a savy solution would be to keep the dependency from bfd off by default, so the aforementioned users would have no problems if a Stable update becomes available. We can add a compile option to enable the bdf dependency, so if we need to debug some nasty bugs we can recompile everything and work with the enhanced backtrace information. What do you think?   Michele
