Ok. > Made it configurable because someone might need the old version. Then just bump the version to whatever more recent version is available. We don't support multiple versions per package in Buildroot, because it would be a maintenance nightmare. For example: each version will need different patches, different configuration options, etc. So we have decided to keep things simple and support only one version at a time, except for U-Boot, Barebox, kernel, and critical things like that. People doing a project with Buildroot are anyway forking a particular version of Buildroot to ensure that they are fixed on a given version of all the components they are using in their system.
