Hi. I need to compile gnome-control-center-3.24.3 as 24.4 will not
compile (filed a bug, but no response). I have saved the old ebuild,
but it needs something in the files subdirectory and I don't have it
and it was deleted some time ago. I am using git and I wonder if its
somehow obtainable from there or from some other location. I need
this to resolve preserved-lib problem.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Since you are using git, you should just be able to checkout the commit
prior to the one which removed the needed file(s). "git log" should
give you enough in formation to identify the target commit - find the
commit which removed the file, then select the next older one, which is
the next one in the log.
