Downgrade port
Hi all, When I have tried to install java 1.5 in freebsd 6.1-release using the binary file provided in: http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml I got an error message pointing out that it needed javavmwrapper-2.0.6 instead of 2.3 (which I actually have installed). I'm trying to use portdowngrade in order to downgrade javavmwrapper but I have problems with cvs servers listed in: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/anoncvs.html Could you tell me if there is another way to downgrade a port?

I believe 'portdowngrade' is the canonical way. However, I *always* have trouble with the servers for some reason. Last time I did a portdowngrade I used the following (mind the wrap): portdowngrade -o -s:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs port-name Then enter any password.

I am not quite sure how this blends with the related libraries but it does work. I've used it but mostly during minor version changes, not the major version change like you have. Why don't you deinstall the 2.3 and install 2.0.6 though? -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html DISCLAIMER: See http://www.wananchi.com/bms/terms.php -- +==+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington[EMAIL PROTECTED] Zzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +==+ A professor is one who talks in someone else's sleep. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
