downgrading to an earlier version of the same port
On my machine it appears that jdk-1.5.0.12,1 is broken and I want to downgrade to a previous cvsup of the same port (I don't know the exact tag but it is the one using patch set 4)... how do I go about doing this? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
