FreeBSD way of installing old version from ports tree
Hi FreeBSD users Currently in /usr/ports/sysutils/syslog-ng there is version syslog-ng 1.6.12. I need version syslog-ng 1.6.5 (the same as in production environment) to test configuration changes. Is there an archive of the ports tree? Whats the FreeBSD way to install this old version integrated in the rest of the system? cheers Simon -- XMPP: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If 1.6.12 was already installed, I would use portdowngrade. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Looks through the CVS logs (you can use the web interface or Dan's freshports: http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/syslog-ng/) Find the date of the version you want, then configure your supfile to grab the ports tree from that date. Something like: date=2004.08.28.10.00.00 should get what you want. When cvsup is done running, you'll be able to run make install from the syslog-ng directory to install that version ... assuming that distfile is still readily available. If it's not, you'll have to do some web searches until you find it manually. Some projects are really good about keeping old distfiles around, other are not. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And there could be dependency and version issues. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
