Maybe. It hasn't been tested a whole lot, but AFAIK it works. The main issue is that older archives are of course built against older versions of the port's dependencies, so if the library major version has changed, the linking will be broken (unless you also install the dependencies from appropriately old archives). - Josh _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
