Comment 1 Y.LE_NY 2011-04-09 20:01:05 CEST 
binutils is not upgraded from 2.20.51.0.11 to 2.21.51.0.7 in Mageia 1 Beta 1.
Then now, is it for Mageia 2 release ?
Comment 2 Thomas Backlund 2011-04-11 10:07:23 CEST 
It will be done in Cauldron after Mageia 1 is released...

There are still bugs triggered by new binutils, so its not a "simple and safe" upgrade.

We want a very stable Mageia 1

CC: (none) => tmb
Target Milestone: --- => Mageia 2
