Use it to fetch an earlier version of the port and then reinstall it however you wish, e.g. using portupgrade(1). [root@devvm /usr/ports/net/freeradius2]# portdowngrade freeradius2 portdowngrade 0.6 by Heiner Eichmann Please note, that nothing is changed in the ports tree unless it is explicitly permitted in step 6! Seeking port freeradius2 ... not found [root@devvm /usr/ports/net/freeradius2]# ls Makefile distinfo files pkg-descr pkg-plist work I have used portdowngrade successfully on ports already installed, but doesn't work on a port not installed yet. Am I doing something wrong?
